25 The Lord who rules over all is the God of Israel. He says, “I am about to punish Amon, the god of Thebes. I will also punish Pharaoh. I will punish Egypt and its gods and kings. And I will punish those who depend on Pharaoh. 26 I will hand them over to those who want to kill them. I will give them to Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, and his officers. But later, many people will live in Egypt again as in times past,” announces the Lord.

27 “People of Jacob, do not be afraid.
    You are my servant.
    Israel, do not be terrified.
I will bring you safely out of a place far away.
    I will bring your children back
    from the land where they were taken.
Your people will have peace and security again.
    And no one will make them afraid.
