Therefore thus saith the LORD, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob, Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his face now wax pale.
Therefore, this is what the LORD says—the one who rescued Abraham—about the descendants of Jacob: Jacob will no longer be ashamed, and his face will no longer grow pale with fear.
God is promising that His people will no longer live in shame or fear because He will restore and rescue them.
