Do not fear, O Jacob my servant;

do not be dismayed, O Israel.

I will surely save you out of a distant place,

your descendants from the land of the exile.

Jacob will again have peace and security,

and no one will make him afraid.

Do not fear, O Jacob my servant,

for I am with you,"declares the Lord.

"Though I completely destroy all the nations

among which I scattered you,

I will not completely destroy you.

I will discipline you only with justice;

I will not let you go totally unpunished."

" But you, dear Jacob my servant, you have nothing to fear.

Israel, there's no need to worry.

Look up! I'll save you from that far country,

I'll get your children out of the land of exile.

Things are going to be normal again for Jacob,

safe and secure, smooth sailing.

Yes, dear Jacob my servant, you have nothing to fear.

Depend on it, I'm on your side.

I'll finish off all the godless nations

among which I've scattered you,

But I won't finish you off,

I have more work left to do on you.

I'll punish you, but fairly.

No, I'm not finished with you yet."

- Just like what God spoke to Jacob, I sense him speaking to me not to fear and be courageous. He would save me from darkness. That everything would be going back to normal again and the journey would be safe and secure, smooth sailing. He would be with us on this journey. No matter what happens he would not destroy me as he is not done with me yet and there are more left for me to do. There would be a fair punishment by him and I am not finish with what he wants me to accomplish yet.
