Reassurance for Israel

27 But you, my servant Jacob, do not be afraid,(A)
and do not be discouraged, Israel,
for without fail I will save you from far away,
and your descendants from the land of their captivity!
Jacob will return and have calm and quiet
with no one to frighten him.
28 And you, my servant Jacob, do not be afraid—
this is the Lord’s declaration—
for I will be with you.(B)
I will bring destruction on all the nations
where I have banished you,
but I will not bring destruction on you.
I will discipline you with justice,
and I will by no means leave you unpunished.(C)

27 But don’t be afraid, my servant Judah;
    don’t lose heart, Israel.
I will deliver you from a faraway place
    and your children from the land of their exile.
My people Jacob will again be safe and sound,
    with no one harassing them.
28 So don’t be afraid, my servant Jacob,
    declares the Lord.
I’m with you;
    I will put an end to all the nations
        where I have scattered you.
But I won’t put an end to you.
    I won’t let you avoid punishment;
    I will discipline you as you deserve.
