¹³ For I am the Lord your God
    who takes hold of your right hand^(A)
and says to you, Do not fear;
    I will help^(B) you.

²⁷ “Do not be afraid,^(A) Jacob^(B) my servant;^(C)
    do not be dismayed, Israel.
I will surely save you out of a distant place,
    your descendants from the land of their exile.^(D)
Jacob will again have peace and security,
    and no one will make him afraid.

²⁸ Do not be afraid, Jacob my servant,
    for I am with you,”^(A) declares the Lord.
“Though I completely destroy^(B) 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.”
