Jeremiah 30:5-24

5“For thus says the Lord, ‘1I have heard a sound of 2terror, Of dread, and there is no peace.6Ask now, and see If a male can give birth. Why do I see every man With his hands on his loins, 3as a woman in childbirth? And why have all faces turned pale?7Alas! for that 4day is great, There is 5none like it; And it is the time of Jacob’s 6distress, But he will be 7saved from it.

8‘It shall come about on that day,’ declares the Lord of hosts, ‘that I will 8break his yoke from off 9their neck and will tear off 10their 11bonds; and strangers will no longer 12make 13them their slaves. 9But they shall serve the Lord their God and 14David their king, whom I will raise up for them.10 15Fear not, O Jacob My servant,’ declares the Lord, ‘And do not be dismayed, O Israel; For behold, I will save you 16from afar And your 17offspring from the land of their captivity. And Jacob will return and will be 18quiet and at ease, And 19no one will make him afraid.11For 20I am with you,’ declares the Lord, ‘to save you; For I will 21destroy completely all the nations where I have scattered you, Only I will 22not destroy you completely. But I will 23chasten you justly And will by no means leave you unpunished.’

12“For thus says the Lord, ‘Your wound is incurable And your 24injury is serious.13There is no one to plead your cause; No healing for your sore, 25No recovery for you.14All your 26lovers have forgotten you, They do not seek you; For I have 27wounded you with the wound of an enemy, With the 28punishment of a 29cruel one, Because your 30iniquity is great And your 31sins are numerous.15Why do you cry out over your injury? Your pain is incurable. Because your iniquity is great And your sins are numerous, I have done these things to you.16Therefore all who 32devour you will be devoured; And all your adversaries, every one of them, 33will go into captivity; And those who plunder you will be for plunder, And all who prey upon you I will give for prey.17For I will 34restore you to 35 36health And I will heal you of your wounds,’ declares the Lord, ‘Because they have called you an 37outcast, saying: “It is Zion; no one 38cares for her.”’

18“Thus says the Lord, ‘Behold, I will 39restore the 40fortunes of the tents of Jacob And 41have compassion on his dwelling places; And the 42city will be rebuilt on its ruin, And the 43palace will stand on its rightful place.19From them will proceed 44thanksgiving And the voice of those who 45 46celebrate; And I will 47multiply them and they will not be diminished; I will also 48honor them and they will not be insignificant.20 49Their children also will be as formerly, And 50their congregation shall be 51established before Me; And I will punish all 52their oppressors.21 53Their 54leader shall be one of them, And 55their ruler shall come forth from 56their midst; And I will 57bring him near and he shall approach Me; For 58who would dare to risk his life to 59approach Me?’ declares the Lord.22‘You shall be 60My people, And I will be your God.’”

23Behold, the 61tempest of the Lord! Wrath has gone forth, A 62sweeping tempest; It will burst on the head of the wicked.24The 63fierce anger of the Lord will not turn back Until He has performed and until He has accomplished The intent of His heart; In the 64latter days you will understand this.
