“‘So fear no more, Jacob, dear servant.Don’t despair, Israel.Look up! I’ll save you out of faraway places,I’ll bring your children back from exile.Jacob will come back and find life good,safe and secure.I’ll be with you. I’ll save you.I’ll finish off all the godless nationsAmong which I’ve scattered you,but I won’t finish you off.I’ll punish you, but fairly.I won’t send you off with just a slap on the wrist.’
