# my servant Jacob ... Israel

"descendants of Jacob ... you Israelite people"

# this is Yahweh's declaration

"this is what I, Yahweh, have declared". Yahweh speaks of himself to express the certainty of what he is declaring. See Jeremiah 1:8.

# do not be dismayed

"do not be discouraged"

# For see, I am

"Listen carefully while I tell you why: I am"

# from the land of captivity

"from the place where they were captives"

# Jacob will return ... he will rest secure

"You descendants of Jacob will return ... you will rest secure"

# secure

"safe"

# no more terror

"no one to terrify him"
