10. “My people, do not be afraid;people of Israel, do not be terrified.I will rescue you from that distant land,from the land where you are prisoners.You will come back home and live in peace;you will be secure, and no one will make you afraid.
11. I will come to you and save you.I will destroy all the nationswhere I have scattered you,but I will not destroy you.I will not let you go unpunished;but when I punish you, I will be fair.I, the Lord, have spoken.”
12. The Lord says to his people,“Your wounds are incurable,your injuries cannot be healed.
13. There is no one to take care of you,no remedy for your sores,no hope of healing for you.
