2 This is what Jehovah says,

Your Maker and the One who formed you,+

Who has helped you from the womb:*

‘Do not be afraid, my servant Jacob,+

And you, Jeshʹu·run,*+ whom I have chosen.

10 “And you, my servant Jacob, do not be afraid,” declares Jehovah,

“And do not be terrified, O Israel.+

For I will save you from far away

And your offspring from the land of their captivity.+

Jacob will return and be calm and undisturbed,

With no one to make them afraid.”+
