25  The Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, saith;

Behold, I will punish the ||†emultitude of fNo,

And Pharaoh, and Egypt, gwith their gods, and their kings;

Even Pharaoh, and all them that trust in him:

26  And hI will deliver them into the hand of those that seek their lives,

And into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon,

And into the hand of his servants:

And iafterward it shall be inhabited,

As in kthe days of old, saith the Lord.

27  lBut fear not thou, O my servant Jacob,

And be not dismayed, O Israel:

For, behold, I will save thee from afar off,

And thy seed from the land of their captivity;

And Jacob shall return, and be in rest and at ease,

And none shall make him afraid.

28  Fear thou not, O Jacob my servant,

lSaith 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.
