⁸ “‘In that day,’ declares the Lord Almighty,
    ‘I will break the yoke^(A) off their necks
and will tear off their bonds;^(B)

    whom I will raise up for them.

¹⁰ “‘So do not be afraid,^(F) Jacob my servant;^(G)
    do not be dismayed, Israel,’

    your descendants from the land of their exile.
Jacob will again have peace and security,^(I)
    and no one will make him afraid.^(J)
11 I am with you^(K) and will save you,’
    declares the Lord.
‘Though I completely destroy all the nations
    among which I scatter you,
    I will not completely destroy^(L) you.
I will discipline^(M) you but only in due measure;
    I will not let you go entirely unpunished.’^(N)

I will bring them to Gilead^(E) and Lebanon,
    and there will not be room^(F) enough for them.
¹¹ They will pass through the sea of trouble;
    the surging sea will be subdued
    and all the depths of the Nile will dry up.^(G)
Assyria’s pride^(H) will be brought down
    and Egypt’s scepter^(I) will pass away.^(J)
12 I will strengthen^(K) them in the Lord
    and in his name they will live securely,^(L)”
declares the Lord.
