Don`t be afraid you, O Jacob my servant, says Yahweh; for I am with you: for I will make a full end of all the nations where I have driven you; but I will not make a full end of you, but I will correct you in measure, and will in no way leave you unpunished.

Commentators explain this promise was given to Israelites who had fled to Egypt for safety. God contrasts His faithful care for them with the coming destruction of Egypt. The message is a powerful reminder to trust in God's covenant promises for security, not in the fleeting strength of worldly nations or powers.
