God Will Save Israel

27 But as for you, have no fear, my servant Jacob,
    and do not be dismayed, O Israel;
for I am going to save you from far away,
    and your offspring from the land of their captivity.
Jacob shall return and have quiet and ease,
    and no one shall make him afraid.
28 As for you, have no fear, my servant Jacob,
says the Lord,
    for I am with you.
I will make an end of all the nations
    among which I have banished you,
    but I will not make an end of you!
I will chastise you in just measure,
    and I will by no means leave you unpunished.

    and no one will make him afraid.

    for I am with you,”(H) declares the Lord.
“Though I completely destroy(I) all the nations
    among which I scatter you,

I will discipline you but only in due measure;
    I will not let you go entirely unpunished.”
