Jeremiah 30:10Therefore don't you be afraid, O Jacob my servant, says Yahweh; neither be dismayed, Israel: for, behold, I will save you from afar, and your seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be quiet and at ease, and none shall make him afraid.
The setting
Babylon, ~587 BC. Jewish families scattered across the empire, some never to see homeland again. Modern-day Iraq, Iran, Turkey.
The emotion here: heartbroken watching his people suffer but clinging to God's promises
The original word
yasha (יָשַׁע) — to save, rescue, deliver from danger or distress
Why it matters
The exile lasted 70 years - most who left Jerusalem as adults died in Babylon
