Jeremiah 30

Liberation from Captivity Promised

1The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying, 2“This is what the Lord, the God of Israel says: ‘1Write all the words which I have spoken to you in a book. 3For behold, 2days are coming,’ declares the Lord, ‘when I will 3restore the fortunes of My people 4Israel and Judah.’ The Lord says, ‘I will also 5bring them back to the land that I gave to their forefathers, and they shall take possession of it.’”

4Now these are the words which the Lord spoke concerning Israel and Judah:

5“For this is what the Lord says: ‘6I have heard a sound of 7terror, Of fear, 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 waist, 8as a woman in childbirth? And why have all faces turned pale?7Woe, for that 9day is great, There is 10none like it; And it is the time of Jacob’s 11distress, Yet he will be 12saved from it.

8‘It shall come about on that day,’ declares the Lord of armies, ‘that I will 13break his yoke from 14their necks and will tear to pieces 15their 16restraints; and strangers will no longer 17make 18them their slaves. 9But they shall serve the Lord their God and 19David their king, whom I will raise up for them.10And 20do not fear, Jacob My servant,’ declares the Lord, ‘And do not be dismayed, Israel; For behold, I am going to save you 21from far away, And your 22descendants from the land of their captivity. And Jacob will return and be 23at peace, without anxiety, And 24no one will make him afraid.11For 25I am with you,’ declares the Lord, ‘to save you; For I will completely 26destroy all the nations where I have scattered you, Only I will 27not destroy you completely. But I will 28discipline you fairly And will by no means leave you unpunished.’

12“For this is what the Lord says: ‘Your broken limb is irreparable, And your 29wound is incurable.13There is no one to plead your cause; No healing for your sore, 30No recovery for you.14All your 31lovers have forgotten you, They do not seek you; For I have 32wounded you with the wound of an enemy, With the 33punishment of a 34cruel one, Because your 35wrongdoing is great, And your 36sins are numerous.15Why do you cry out over your injury? Your pain is incurable. Because your wrongdoing is great And your sins are numerous, I have done these things to you.16Therefore all who 37devour you will be devoured; And all your adversaries, every one of them, 38will go into captivity; And those who plunder you will become plunder, And all who plunder you I will turn into plunder.17For I will 39restore you to 4041health And I will heal you of your wounds,’ declares the Lord, ‘Because they have called you an 42outcast, saying: “It is Zion; no one 43cares for her.”’

Restoration of Jacob

18“This is what the Lord says: ‘Behold, I will 44restore the fortunes of the tents of Jacob And 45have compassion on his dwellings; And the 46city will be rebuilt on its ruins, And the 47palace will stand on its rightful place.19From them will come a 48song of thanksgiving And the voices of those who 4950celebrate; And I will 51multiply them and they will not decrease; I will 52honor them and they will not be insignificant.2053Their children also will be as before, And 54their congregation will be 55established before Me; And I will punish all 56their oppressors.2157Their 58leader shall be one of them, And 59their ruler will come out from 60their midst; And I will 61bring him near and he shall approach Me; For 62who would dare to risk his life to 63approach Me?’ declares the Lord.22‘You shall be 64My people, And I will be your God.’”

23Behold, the 65tempest of the Lord! Wrath has gone forth, A 66sweeping tempest; It will whirl upon the head of the wicked.24The 67fierce anger of the Lord will not turn back Until He has performed and accomplished The intent of His heart. In the 68latter days you will understand this.
