¹⁰ “So Jacob, my servant, don’t be afraid!”
    This message is from the Lord.
“Israel, don’t be afraid.
    I will save you from that faraway place.
You are captives^[a] in that faraway land,
    but I will save your descendants.
    I will bring them back from that land.
Jacob will have peace again.
    People will not bother Jacob.
    There will be no enemy to frighten my people.
¹¹ People of Israel and Judah, I am with you.”
    This message is from the Lord.
“I will save you.
    I sent you to those nations,
    but I will completely destroy all of them.
It is true; I will destroy those nations,
    but I will not destroy you.
You must be punished for the bad things you did,
    but I will discipline you fairly.”

¹² This is what the Lord says:
“You people of Israel and Judah have a wound that cannot be cured.
    You have an injury that will not heal.
