10. As for you, My servant Jacob, do not be afraid —this is the Lord’s declaration —and do not be dismayed, Israel,for without fail I will save you from far away,your descendants, from the land of their captivity!Jacob will return and have calm and quietwith no one to frighten him.
11. For I will be with you —this is the Lord’s declaration —to save you! I will bring destruction on all the nationswhere I have scattered you;however, I will not bring destruction on you.I will discipline you justly,and I will by no means leave you unpunished.
12. For this is what the Lord says:Your injury is incurable;your wound most severe.
