28 Do not be afraid, Jacob my servant,

for I am with you,” declares the Lord.

“Though I completely destroy all the nations

among which I scatter you,

I will not completely destroy you.

I will discipline you but only in due measure;

I will not let you go entirely unpunished.”

28 Fear thou not, O Jacob my servant,

Saith the Lord: for I am with thee;

For I will make a full end of all the nations whither I have driven thee:

But I will not make a full end of thee,

But correct thee in measure;

Yet will I not leave thee wholly unpunished.

28 Do not be afraid, Jacob, my servant,

for I am with you,” says the Lord.

“I will completely destroy the nations to which I have exiled you,

but I will not completely destroy you.

I will discipline you, but with justice;

I cannot let you go unpunished.”

28 Do not fear, O Jacob My servant,” says the Lord,

“For I am with you;

For I will make a complete end of all the nations

To which I have driven you,

But I will not make a complete end of you.

I will rightly correct you,

For I will not leave you wholly unpunished.”

28 People of Jacob, my servants, do not be afraid,

because I am with you,” says the Lord.

“I will completely destroy the many different nations

where I scattered you.

But I will not completely destroy you.

I will punish you fairly,

but I will not let you escape your punishment.”

28 Fear not thou, O Jacob my servant, saith Jehovah; for I am with thee: for I will make a full end of all the nations whither I have driven thee; but I will not make a full end of thee, but I will correct thee in measure, and will in no wise leave thee unpunished.

28 Fear thou not, my servant Jacob, saith Jehovah: for I am with thee; for I will make a full end of all the nations whither I have driven thee, but I will not make a full end of thee; but I will correct thee with judgment, and I will not hold thee altogether guiltless.

28 Don’t be afraid, my servant Jacob,” declares the Lord. 

“I am with you. 

I will completely destroy all the nations where I scattered you, 

but I will not completely destroy you. 

I will correct you with justice. 

I won’t let you go entirely unpunished.” 

28 And you, My servant Jacob, do not be afraid—

this is the Lord’s declaration—

for I will be with you.

I will bring destruction on all the nations

where I have banished you,

but I will not bring destruction on you.

I will discipline you with justice,

and I will by no means leave you unpunished.

28 As for you, have no fear, my servant Jacob,

says the Lord,

for I am with you.

I will make an end of all the nations

among which I have banished you,

but I will not make an end of you!

I will chastise you in just measure,

and I will by no means leave you unpunished.

28 You must not be afraid, my servant Jacob,” declares Yahweh,

“for I am with you.

For I will make a complete destruction in all the nations where I scattered you,

but you I will not make a complete destruction,

though I will chastise you to the measure,

and I will certainly not leave you unpunished.”

28 People of Jacob, do not be afraid.

You are my servant.

I am with you,” announces the Lord.

“I will completely destroy all of the nations

among which I scatter you.

But I will not completely destroy you.

I will correct you. But I will be fair.

I will punish you in a way that is fair and right.”

28 “O Jacob My servant, do not fear,” declares the Lord,

“For I am with you.

For I will make a full end of all the nations

Where I have driven you,

Yet I will not make a full end of you;

But I will correct you properly

And by no means leave you unpunished.”
