10 (B)Fear not, O Jacob My [a]servant,’ declares Yahweh,
‘And do not be dismayed, O Israel;
For behold, I will save you (C)from afar
And your seed from the land of their captivity.
And Jacob will return and will be (D)quiet and at ease,
And (E)no one will make him tremble.
11 For (F)I am with you,’ declares Yahweh, ‘to save you;
For I will (G)make a complete destruction of all the nations where I have scattered you,
Only I will (H)not make a complete destruction of you.
But I will (I)chasten you justly
And will by no means leave you unpunished.’
