Tell those who are afraid and anxious: 'Be strong and don't be afraid! Look—your God is coming with justice to set things right. He will come and rescue you.'

But don't be scared, Jacob — you're my people. Don't freak out, Israel. I'm going to rescue you from way far away, and I'll bring your kids back from the place where they're being held captive. Jacob's coming home to finally rest and chill, and nobody's going to mess with you anymore.

Listen up, Judah and Israel — I know you've been through it. You were seen as cursed by the nations around you, like everything you touched went wrong. But I'm flipping the script. I'm going to rescue you, and instead of being known for bad luck, you'll be known for bringing good things to people. So don't be scared anymore — keep your hands steady and stay strong.
