Prepare yourself bto go into captivity!
For1 Noph shall be waste and desolate, without inhabitant.

For they also are turned back,
They have fled away together.
They did not stand,
For athe day of their calamity had come upon them,
The time of their punishment. 
22 aHer noise shall go like a serpent,
For they shall march with an army
And come against her with axes,
Like those who chop wood. 
23 “They shall acut down her forest,” says the Lord,
“Though it cannot be searched,
Because they are innumerable,
And more numerous than bgrasshoppers.

She shall be delivered into the hand
Of athe people of the north.”

God Will Preserve Israel

27 “Buta do not fear, O My servant Jacob,
And do not be dismayed, O Israel!
For behold, I will bsave you from afar,
And your offspring from the land of their captivity;
Jacob shall return, have rest and be at ease;
No one shall make him afraid.
