Modern
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.”
Traditional
Fear thou not, O Jacob my servant, saith the Lord: for I am with thee; for I will make a full end of all the nations whither I have driven thee: but I will not make a full end of thee, but correct thee in measure; yet will I not leave thee wholly unpunished.
Literal
You will not fear, O My servant Jacob, a declaration of YHWH, for I am with you. For I will make a full end of all the nations to which I have driven you there. And of you I will not make a full end; I will discipline you according to justice, and I will not entirely acquit you.”
Latin
Et tu noli timere, serve meus Jacob, ait Dominus, quia tecum ego sum: quia ego consumam cunctas gentes ad quas ejeci te, te vero non consumam: sed castigabo te in judicio, nec quasi innocenti parcam tibi.
