“Israel, don’t be afraid.
    I will save you from that faraway place.

    but I will save your descendants.
    I will bring them back from that land.
Jacob will have peace again.
    People will not bother Jacob.

It is true; I will destroy those nations,
    but I will not destroy you.
You must be punished for the bad things you did,
    but I will discipline you fairly.”

    You have an injury that will not heal.
