JEREMIAH ยท Chapter 30
30:1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
30:2 Thus speaks the LORD God of Israel, saying, Write you all the
words that I have spoken unto you in a book.
30:3 For, lo, the days come, says the LORD, that I will bring again
the captivity of my people Israel and Judah, says the LORD: and I will
cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they
shall possess it.
30:4 And these are the words that the LORD spoke concerning Israel
and concerning Judah.
30:5 For thus says the LORD; We have heard a voice of trembling, of
fear, and not of peace.
30:6 Ask all of you now, and see whether a man does 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?
30:7 Alas! 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.
30:8 For it shall come to pass in that day, says the LORD of hosts,
that I will break his yoke from off your neck, and will burst your bonds,
and strangers shall no more make use of him:
30:9 But they shall serve the LORD their God, and David their king,
whom I will raise up unto them.
30:10 Therefore fear you not, O my servant Jacob, says the LORD; neither
be dismayed, O Israel: for, lo, I will save you from far, and your seed
from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be
in rest, and be quiet, and none shall make him afraid.
30:11 For I am with you, says the LORD, to save you: though I make
a full end of all nations where I have scattered you, yet I will not make
a full end of you: but I will correct you in measure, and will not leave
you altogether unpunished.
30:12 For thus says the LORD, Your bruise is incurable, and your wound
is grievous.
30:13 There is none to plead your cause, that you may be bound up:
you have no healing medicines.
30:14 All your lovers have forgotten you; they seek you not; for I
have wounded you with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of a
cruel one, for the multitude of your iniquity; because your sins were increased.
30:15 Why cry you for your affliction? your sorrow is incurable for
the multitude of your iniquity: because your sins were increased, I have
done these things unto you.
30:16 Therefore all they that devour you shall be devoured; and all
of your adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity; and they
that spoil you shall be a spoil, and all that prey upon you will I give
for a prey.
30:17 For I will restore health unto you, and I will heal you of your
wounds, says the LORD; because they called you an Outcast, saying, This
is Zion, whom no man seeks after.
30:18 Thus says the LORD; Behold, I will bring again the captivity
of Jacob's tents, and have mercy on his dwelling places; and the city shall
be built upon her own heap, and the palace shall remain after the manner
thereof.
30:19 And 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.
30:20 Their children also shall be as in old times, and their congregation
shall be established before me, and I will punish all that oppress them.
30:21 And their nobles shall be of themselves, and their governor shall
proceed from the midst of them; and I will cause him to draw near, and
he shall approach unto me: for who is this that engaged his heart to approach
unto me? says the LORD.
30:22 And all of you shall be my people, and I will be your God.
30:23 Behold, the whirlwind of the LORD goes forth with fury, a continuing
whirlwind: it shall fall with pain upon the head of the wicked.
30:24 The fierce anger of the LORD shall not return, until he has done
it, and until he have performed the intents of his heart: in the latter
days all of you shall consider it.
