Jeremiah 46:25-27
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
25 The Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, has said: See! I will punish Amon[a] of Thebes and Egypt, gods, kings, Pharaoh, and those who trust in him.(A) 26 I will hand them over to those who seek their lives, to Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, and to his officers. But later, Egypt shall be inhabited again, as in days of old—oracle of the Lord.(B)
27 But you, my servant Jacob, do not fear;
do not be dismayed, Israel!
Listen! I will deliver you from far-off lands;
your offspring, from the land of their exile.
Jacob shall again find rest,
secure, with none to frighten him.(C)
