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)

Israel will be Delivered

27 “As for you, my servant Jacob, don’t be afraid,
    and Israel, don’t be dismayed.
For I’ll deliver you from a distant place,
    and your descendants from the land of their captivity.
Jacob will return.
    He will be undisturbed and secure,
        and no one will cause him to fear.
28 “As for you, my servant Jacob, don’t be afraid,
    and Israel, don’t be dismayed,”
        declares the Lord, “for I am with you.
Indeed, I’ll make an end of all the nations
    where I scattered you;
    but I won’t make an end of you!
I’ll discipline you justly,
    but I’ll certainly not leave you unpunished.”
