Jeremiah 46:27-28

Egypt Judged: The LORD of Armies Rules the Nations

The chapter moves from the heading over the nations, to Egypt's defeat at Carchemish, to the LORD's interpretation of that defeat as his day of vengeance, to the announcement of Babylon's coming invasion of Egypt, and finally to comfort for Jacob amid the judgment of the nations.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

27 But you, O Jacob My servant, do not be afraid, and do not be dismayed, O Israel. For I will surely save you out of a distant place, your descendants from the land of their captivity! Jacob will return to quiet and ease, with no one to make him afraid.

28 And you, My servant Jacob, do not be afraid, declares the LORD, for I am with you. Though I will completely destroy all the nations to which I have banished you, I will not completely destroy you. Yet I will discipline you justly, and will by no means leave you unpunished.”
