⁸ “ ‘At that time I will break the yoke off their necks,’
    announces the Lord who rules over all.
‘I will tear off the ropes that hold them.
    People from other lands will not make them slaves anymore.
⁹ Instead, they will serve me.
    And they will serve David their king.
I will raise him up for them.
    I am the Lord their God.

¹⁰ “ ‘People of Jacob, do not be afraid.
    You are my servant.
Israel, do not be terrified,’ ”
    announces the Lord.
“ ‘You can be sure that I will save you.
    I will bring you out of a place far away.
I will bring your children back
    from the land where they were taken.
Your people will have peace and security again.
    And no one will make them afraid.
