44 Yet for all that, when they are in the land of their enemies, ^aI will not cast them away, nor shall I abhor them, to utterly destroy them and break My covenant with them;
for I am the Lord their God. ‡

45 But ^afor their sake I will remember the covenant of their ancestors, ^bwhom I brought out of the land of Egypt ^cin the sight of the nations, that I might be their God:
I am the Lord.’ ”  ‡
