10 Do not be afraid, for I am with you.+ Do not gaze about, for I am your God.*+ I will fortify you.+ I will really help you.+ I will really keep fast hold of you with my right hand+ of righteousness.’+

2 This is what Jehovah has said, your Maker+ and your Former,+ who kept helping you even from the belly,*+ ‘Do not be afraid,+ O my servant Jacob, and you, Jeshʹu·run,*+ whom I have chosen.

10 “And as for you, do not be afraid, O my servant Jacob,” is the utterance of Jehovah, “and do not be struck with terror, O Israel.+ For here I am saving you from far off and your offspring from the land of their captivity.+ And Jacob will certainly return and be free of disturbance and be at ease, and there will be no one causing trembling.”+
