God Will Preserve Israel

27 “But^a 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.

28 Do not fear, O Jacob My servant,” says the Lord,
“For I am with you;
For I will make a complete end of all the nations
To which I have driven you,
But I will not make ^aa complete end of you.
I will rightly ^bcorrect you,
For I will not leave you wholly unpunished.”

<< Jeremiah 46:27

Jeremiah 47:1 >>

Jeremiah 46:27-28

These two verses are a repetition of Jeremiah 30:10-11, with those slight variations which Jeremiah always makes when quoting himself. Egypt' s fall and restoration have been foretold; but the prophet closes with a word of exhortation to the many erring Jews who dwelt there. Why should they flee from their country, and trust in a pagan power, instead of endeavoring to live in a manner worthy of the noble destiny which was their true glory and ground of confidence?
