⁸ On that day—
this is the declaration of the Lord of Armies—
I will break his yoke from your neck^(A)
and tear off your chains,^(B)
and strangers will never again enslave him.^(C)
9 They will serve the Lord their God
and David their king,
whom I will raise up for them.^(D)
10 As for you, my servant Jacob,^(E)
do not be afraid—
this is the Lord’s declaration—
and do not be discouraged, Israel,
for without fail I will save you out of a distant place,
your descendants, from the land of their captivity!
Jacob will return and have calm and quiet
with no one to frighten him.^(F)
