52 Jer 46:27–28 are virtually the same as 30:10–11. The verses are more closely related to that context than to this. But the presence of a note of future hope for the Egyptians may have led to a note of encouragement also to the Judeans who were under threat of judgment at the same time (cf. the study notes on , 13 and 25:1–2 for the possible relative dating of these prophecies).
53 Heb “And/But you do not be afraid, my servant Jacob.” Here and elsewhere in the verse the terms Jacob and Israel are poetic for the people of Israel descended from the patriarch Jacob. The terms have been supplied throughout with plural referents for greater clarity.
54 Heb “For I will rescue you from far away, your descendants from the land of their captivity.”

In other versions

“But fear not, O Jacob my servant,

nor be dismayed, O Israel,

and your offspring from the land of their captivity.

Jacob shall return and have quiet and ease,

and none shall make him afraid.

“Do not be afraid, Jacob my servant;

do not be dismayed, Israel.

I will surely save you out of a distant place,

your descendants from the land of their exile.

and no one will make him afraid.

But you, my servant Jacob, do not be afraid,

and do not be discouraged, Israel,

for without fail I will save you from far away,

and your descendants from the land of their captivity!

Jacob will return and have calm and quiet

with no one to frighten him.

“But do not be afraid, Jacob, my servant;

do not be dismayed, Israel.

and no one will terrorize them.

“But as for you, my servant Jacob, you must not be afraid,

and Israel, you must not be dismayed,

for look, I am going to save you from far,

and your offspring from the land of their captivity.

and he will be quiet,

and he will be at ease,

and without one who makes him afraid.

But 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.
