26. I will let all those people be defeated by their enemies. And those enemies want to kill them. I will give them to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and his officers. But in the future, Egypt will live in peace as it once did,” says the Lord.
27. “People of Jacob, my servants, don’t be afraid.Don’t be frightened, Israel.I will surely save you from those faraway places.I will save your children from the lands where they are captives.The people of Jacob will have peace and safety again.And no one will make them afraid.
28. People of Jacob, my servants, do not be afraid.I am with you,” says the Lord.“I scattered you to many different nations.And I will completely destroy all those nations.But I will not completely destroy you.I will punish you fairly.But I cannot let you escape your punishment.”
