30[This is] the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD.H1697H3414H3068H5592This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: "Write down on a scroll all the words that I have spoken to you,H559H3068H430H3478H559H3789H1697H1696H56123for the days are certainly coming"— [this is] the LORD's declaration— "when I will restore the fortunes of My people Israel and Judah"— the LORD's declaration. "I will restore them to the land I gave to their ancestors and they will possess it."H3117H935H5002H3068H7725H7622H5971H3478H3063H559H3068H7725H776H5414H1H34234These are the words the LORD spoke to Israel and Judah.H1697H3068H1696H3478H30635Yes, this is what the LORD says: We have heard a cry of terror, of dread— there is no peace.H559H3068H8085H6963H2731H6343H79656Ask and see whether a male can give birth. Why then do I see every man with his hands on his stomach like a woman in labor and every face turned pale?H7592H7200H2145H3205H7200H1397H3027H2504H3205H6440H2015H34207How awful that day will be! There will be none like it! It will be a time of trouble for Jacob, but he will be delivered out of it.H1945H3117H1419H369H6256H3290H6869H34678"On that day"— [this is] the declaration of the LORD of Hosts— "I will break his yoke from your neck and snap your fetters so strangers will never again enslave him.H3117H5002H3068H6635H7665H5923H6677H5423H4147H2114H56479They will serve the LORD their God and I will raise up David their king for them."H5647H3068H430H1732H4428H696510As for you, My servant Jacob, do not be afraid— [this is] the LORD's declaration— and do not be dismayed, Israel, for I will without fail save you from far away, your descendants, from the land of their captivity! Jacob will return and have calm and quiet with no one to frighten him.H3372H5650H3290H5002H3068H2865H3478H3467H7350H2233H776H7628H3290H7725H8252H7599H272911For I will be with you— [this is] the LORD's declaration— to save you! I will bring destruction on all the nations where I have scattered you; however, I will not bring destruction on you. I will discipline you justly, but I will by no means leave you unpunished.H5002H3068H3467H6213H3617H1471H6327H6213H3617H3256H4941H5352H5352
Healing Zion’s Wounds
12For this is what the LORD says: Your injury is incurable; your wound most severe.H559H3068H7667H605H4347H247013No one takes up the case for your sores. You have nothing that can heal you.H1777H1779H4205H8585H749914All your lovers have forgotten you; they no longer look for you, for I have struck you like an enemy would, with the discipline of someone cruel, because of your enormous guilt and your innumerable sins.H157H7911H1875H5221H4347H341H4148H394H7230H5771H2403H610515Why do you cry out about your injury? Your pain has no cure! I have done these things to you because of your enormous guilt and your innumerable sins.H2199H7667H4341H605H7230H5771H2403H6105H621316Nevertheless, all who devoured you will be devoured, and all your adversaries— all of them— will go off into exile. Your despoilers will become spoil, and all who plunder you will be plundered.H398H398H6862H3212H7628H7601H8154H4933H962H5414H95717But I will bring you health and will heal you of your wounds— [this is] the LORD's declaration— for they call you The Outcast, that Zion no one cares about.H5927H724H7495H4347H5002H3068H7121H5080H6726H1875
Restoration of the Land
18This is what the LORD says: I will certainly restore the fortunes of Jacob's tents and show compassion on his dwellings. Every city will be rebuilt on its mound; every citadel will stand on its proper site.H559H3068H7725H7622H3290H168H7355H4908H5892H1129H8510H759H3427H494119Thanksgiving will come out of them, a sound of celebration. I will multiply them, and they will not decrease; I will honor them, and they will not be insignificant.H3318H8426H6963H7832H7235H4591H3513H681920His children will be as in past days; his congregation will be established in My presence. I will punish all his oppressors.H1121H6924H5712H3559H6440H6485H390521Jacob's leader will be one of them; his ruler will issue from him. I will invite him to Me, and he will approach Me, for who would otherwise risk his life to approach Me? [This is] the LORD's declaration.H117H4910H3318H7130H7126H5066H6148H3820H5066H5002H306822You will be My people, and I will be your God.H5971H430
The Wrath of God
23Look, a storm from the LORD! Wrath has gone forth. A churning storm, it will whirl about the head of the wicked.H5591H3068H3318H2534H1641H5591H2342H7218H756324The LORD's burning anger will not turn back until He has completely fulfilled the purposes of His heart. In time to come you will understand it.H2740H639H3068H7725H6213H6965H4209H3820H319H3117H995
