Jeremiah 46:25-27
1599 Geneva Bible
25 ¶ Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Behold, I will visit thy [a]common people of No and Pharaoh, and Egypt, with their gods and their kings, even Pharaoh, and all them that trust in him,
26 And I will deliver them into the hands of those that seek their lives, and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babel, and into the hands of his servants, and afterward she shall dwell as [b]in the old time, saith the Lord.
27 ¶ [c]But fear not thou, O my servant Jacob, and be not thou afraid, O Israel: for behold, I will deliver thee from a far country, and thy seed from the land of their captivity, and Jacob shall return and be in rest, and prosperity, and none shall make him afraid.
