30:10 So I, the Lord, tell you not to be afraid,
you descendants of Jacob, my servants. 1
Do not be terrified, people of Israel.
For I will rescue you and your descendants
from a faraway land where you are captives. 2
The descendants of Jacob will return to their land and enjoy peace.
They will be secure and no one will terrify them. 3
30:11 For I, the Lord, affirm 4 that
I will be with you and will rescue you.
I will completely destroy all the nations where I scattered you.
But I will not completely destroy you.
I will indeed discipline you, but only in due measure.
I will not allow you to go entirely unpunished.” 5
41:13 For I am the Lord your God,
the one who takes hold of your right hand,
who says to you, ‘Don’t be afraid, I am helping you.’
41:14 Don’t be afraid, despised insignificant Jacob, 6
men of 7 Israel.
I am helping you,” says the Lord,
your protector, 8 the Holy One of Israel. 9
43:1 Now, this is what the Lord says,
the one who created you, O Jacob,
and formed you, O Israel:
“Don’t be afraid, for I will protect 10 you.
I call you by name, you are mine.
43:5 Don’t be afraid, for I am with you.
From the east I will bring your descendants;
from the west I will gather you.
44:2 This is what the Lord, the one who made you, says –
the one who formed you in the womb and helps you:
“Don’t be afraid, my servant Jacob,
Jeshurun, 11 whom I have chosen!
