God Will Save Israel

27 But do not fear, O My servant Jacob,
    and do not be dismayed, O Israel.
For I will save you from afar off,
    and your seed from the land of their captivity;
and Jacob shall return and be in rest and at ease,
    and no one shall make him afraid.
28 Do not fear, O Jacob My servant,
    says the Lord, for I am with you;
for I will make a full end of all the nations
    where I have driven you.
    However, I will not make a full end of you,
but correct you in measure,
    and I will not leave you wholly unpunished.

    and no one will make him afraid.
28 Do not be afraid, Jacob my servant,
    for I am with you,”(H) declares the Lord.
“Though I completely destroy(I) all the nations
    among which I scatter you,
    I will not completely destroy you.
I will discipline you but only in due measure;
    I will not let you go entirely unpunished.”
