    I will not let you go entirely unpunished.’^(D)

²⁸ Do not be afraid, Jacob my servant,
    for I am with you,”^(A) declares the Lord.
“Though I completely destroy^(B) 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.”

¹⁰ See, I have refined^(A) you, though not as silver;
    I have tested^(B) you in the furnace^(C) of affliction.

⁶ he says:
“It is too small a thing for you to be my servant^(A)
    to restore the tribes of Jacob

I will also make you a light^(C) for the Gentiles,^(D)
    that my salvation may reach to the ends of the earth.”^(E)

¹⁴     The cowering prisoners will soon be set free;^(A)
they will not die in their dungeon,
    nor will they lack bread.^(B)
15 For I am the Lord your God,
    who stirs up the sea^(C) so that its waves roar^(D)—
    the Lord Almighty^(E) is his name.
¹⁶ I have put my words in your mouth^(F)
    and covered you with the shadow of my hand^(G)—
I who set the heavens in place,
    who laid the foundations of the earth,^(H)
    and who say to Zion, ‘You are my people.^(I)’”

²¹ Therefore hear this, you afflicted^(AA) one,
    made drunk,^(AB) but not with wine.

    your God, who defends^(AC) his people:
“See, I have taken out of your hand
    the cup^(AD) that made you stagger;
from that cup, the goblet of my wrath,
    you will never drink again.
²³ I will put it into the hands of your tormentors,^(AE)
    who said to you,
    ‘Fall prostrate^(AF) that we may walk^(AG) on you.’
And you made your back like the ground,
    like a street to be walked on.”^(AH)

⁶ The Lord will call you back^(A)
    as if you were a wife deserted^(B) and distressed in spirit—
a wife who married young,^(C)
    only to be rejected,” says your God.
⁷ “For a brief moment^(D) I abandoned^(E) you,
    but with deep compassion^(F) I will bring you back.^(G)

“See, I will refine^(A) and test^(B) them,
    for what else can I do
    because of the sin of my people?
