15 So again in these days
I am determined to do good
To Jerusalem and to the house of Judah.
Do not fear.

13 And it shall come to pass
That just as you were (A)a curse among the nations,
O house of Judah and house of Israel,
So I will save you, and (B)you shall be a blessing.

Let your hands be strong.’

18 (A)Who is a God like You,
(B)Pardoning iniquity
And passing over the transgression of (C)the remnant of His heritage?

(D)He does not retain His anger forever,
Because He delights in (E)mercy.[a]
19 He will again have compassion on us,
And will subdue our iniquities.

You will cast all [b]our sins
Into the depths of the sea.
20 (F)You will give truth to Jacob
And [c]mercy to Abraham,
(G)Which You have sworn to our fathers
From days of old.

10 Be in pain, and labor to bring forth,
O daughter of Zion,
Like a woman in birth pangs.
For now you shall go forth from the city,
You shall dwell in the field,
And to (A)Babylon you shall go.
There you shall be delivered;
There the (B)Lord will (C)redeem you
From the hand of your enemies.

11 (D)Now also many nations have gathered against you,
Who say, “Let her be defiled,
And let our eye (E)look upon Zion.”
12 But they do not know (F)the thoughts of the Lord,
Nor do they understand His counsel;
For He will gather them (G)like sheaves to the threshing floor.

13 “Arise(H) and (I)thresh, O daughter of Zion;
For I will make your horn iron,
And I will make your hooves bronze;
You shall (J)beat in pieces many peoples;
(K)I will consecrate their gain to the Lord,
And their substance to (L)the Lord of the whole earth.”

The Redeemer of Israel

43 But now, thus says the Lord, who created you, O Jacob,
And He who formed you, O Israel:
“Fear not, (A)for I have redeemed you;
(B)I have called you by your name;
You are Mine.
(C)When you pass through the waters, (D)I will be with you;
And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you.
When you (E)walk through the fire, you shall not be burned,
Nor shall the flame scorch you.
