Jeremiah 46:25-27

Contemporary English Version

²⁵I am the Lord All-Powerful, the God of Israel. Soon I will punish the god Amon of Thebes^[a] and the other Egyptian gods, the Egyptian kings, the people of Egypt, and everyone who trusts in the Egyptian power. ²⁶I will hand them over to King Nebuchadnezzar and his army. But I also promise that Egypt will someday have people living here again, just as it had before. I, the Lord, have spoken.

The Lord Will Bring Israel Home

The Lord said:

²⁷^(A) Israel,^[b] don't be afraid.
Someday I will bring you home
from foreign lands.
You and your descendants
will live in peace and safety,
with nothing to fear.
