Jeremiah 30
1The word that came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying, 2Thus speaketh Jehovah, the God of Israel, saying, Write thee all the words that I have spoken unto thee in a book. 3For, lo, the days come, saith Jehovah, that I will turn again the captivity of my people Israel and Judah, saith Jehovah; and I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it. 4And these are the words that YHWH spake concerning Israel and concerning Judah. 5For thus saith Jehovah: We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace. 6Ask ye now, and see whether a man doth travail with child: wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness? 7Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob's trouble; but he shall be saved out of it. 8And it shall come to pass in that day, saith YHWH of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off your neck, and will burst your bonds; and strangers shall no more make him their bondman; 9but they shall serve YHWH their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up unto them. 10Therefore fear you not, O Jacob my servant, saith Jehovah; neither be dismayed, O Israel: for, lo, I will save thee 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. 11For I am with thee, saith Jehovah, to save thee: for I will make a full end of all the nations whither I have scattered thee, but I will not make a full end of thee; but I will correct thee in measure, and will in no wise leave thee unpunished. 12For thus saith Jehovah, Thy hurt is incurable, and your wound grievous. 13There is none to plead your cause, that you mayest be bound up: you hast no healing medicines. 14All your lovers have forgotten thee; they seek thee not: for I have wounded thee with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel one, for the greatness of yours iniquity, because your sins were increased. 15Why criest you for your hurt? your pain is incurable: for the greatness of yours iniquity, because your sins were increased, I have done these things unto thee. 16Therefore all they that devour thee shall be devoured; and all yours adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity; and they that despoil thee shall be a spoil, and all that prey upon thee will I give for a prey. 17For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of your wounds, saith Jehovah; because they have called thee an outcast, [saying], It is Zion, whom no man seeketh after. 18Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I will turn again the captivity of Jacob's tents, and have compassion on his dwelling-places; and the city shall be builded upon its own hill, and the palace shall be inhabited after its own manner. 19And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of them that make merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be few; I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small. 20Their children also shall be as aforetime, and their congregation shall be established before me; and I will punish all that oppress them. 21And their prince shall be of themselves, and their ruler shall proceed from the midst of them; and I will cause him to draw near, and he shall approach unto me: for who is he that hath had boldness to approach unto me? saith Jehovah. 22And ye shall be my people, and I will be your God. 23Behold, the tempest of Jehovah, [even his] wrath, is gone forth, a sweeping tempest: it shall burst upon the head of the wicked. 24The fierce anger of YHWH shall not return, until he have executed, and till he have performed the intents of his heart: in the latter days ye shall understand it.
