27 “But do not be afraid, Jacob, my servant;
    do not be dismayed, Israel.
For I will bring you home again from distant lands,
    and your children will return from their exile.
Israel[a] will return to a life of peace and quiet,
    and no one will terrorize them.
28 Do not be afraid, Jacob, my servant,
    for I am with you,” says the Lord.
“I will completely destroy the nations to which I have exiled you,
    but I will not completely destroy you.
I will discipline you, but with justice;
    I cannot let you go unpunished.”

27 “But as for you, Jacob My servant, (A)do not fear,
Nor be dismayed, Israel!
For, see, I am going to (B)save you from far away,
And your descendants from the land of their captivity;
And Jacob will return and be (C)undisturbed
And secure, with no one making him afraid.
28 Jacob My servant, do not fear,” declares the Lord,
“For (D)I am with you.
For I will make a complete destruction of all the nations
Where I have driven you,
Yet I will (E)not make a complete destruction of you;
But I will (F)correct you properly
And by no means leave you unpunished.”
