Jeremiah 30
30THE WORD that came to Jeremiah from the Lord:H1697H3414H3068H5592Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Write all the words that I have spoken to you in a book.H559H3068H430H3478H559H3789H1697H1696H56123For, note well, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will release from captivity 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 will possess it.H3117H935H5002H3068H7725H7622H5971H3478H3063H559H3068H7725H776H5414H1H34234And these are the words the Lord spoke concerning Israel and Judah:H1697H3068H1696H3478H30635Thus says the Lord: We have heard a voice of trembling {and} panic--of terror, and not peace.H559H3068H8085H6963H2731H6343H79656Ask now and see whether a man can give birth to a child? Why then do I see every man with his hands on his loins like a woman in labor? Why are all faces turned pale?H7592H7200H2145H3205H7200H1397H3027H2504H3205H6440H2015H34207Alas! for that day will be great, so that none will be like it; it will be the time of Jacob's [unequaled] trouble, but he will be saved out of it.H1945H3117H1419H369H6256H3290H6869H34678For it will come to pass in that day, says the Lord of hosts, that I will break [the oppressor's] yoke from your neck, and I will burst your bonds; and strangers will no more make slaves of [the people of Israel].H3117H5002H3068H6635H7665H5923H6677H5423H4147H2114H56479But they will serve the Lord their God and David's [descendant] their King, Whom I will raise up for them.H5647H3068H430H1732H4428H696510Therefore fear not, O My servant Jacob, says the Lord, nor be dismayed {or} cast down, O Israel; for behold, I will save you out of a distant land [of exile] and your posterity from the land of their captivity. Jacob will return and will be quiet and at ease, and none will make him afraid {or} cause him to be terrorized {and} to tremble.H3372H5650H3290H5002H3068H2865H3478H3467H7350H2233H776H7628H3290H7725H8252H7599H272911For I am with you, says the Lord, to save you; for I will make a full {and} complete end of all the nations to which I have scattered you, but I will not make a full {and} complete end of you. But I will correct you in measure {and} with judgment and will in no sense hold you guiltless {or} leave you unpunished.H5002H3068H3467H6213H3617H1471H6327H6213H3617H3256H4941H5352H535212For thus says the Lord: Your hurt is incurable and your wound is grievous.H559H3068H7667H605H4347H247013There is none to plead your cause; for [the pressing together of] your wound you have no healing [device], no binding plaster.H1777H1779H4205H8585H749914All your lovers (allies) have forgotten you; they neither seek, inquire of, {or} require you. For I have hurt you with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel {and} merciless foe, because of the greatness of your perversity {and} guilt, because your sins are glaring {and} innumerable.H157H7911H1875H5221H4347H341H4148H394H7230H5771H2403H610515Why do you cry out because of your hurt [the natural result of your sins]? Your pain is deadly (incurable). Because of the greatness of your perversity {and} guilt, because your sins are glaring {and} innumerable, I have done these things to you.H2199H7667H4341H605H7230H5771H2403H6105H621316Therefore all who devour you will be devoured; and all your adversaries, every one of them, will go into captivity. And they who despoil you will become a spoil, and all who prey upon you will I give for a prey.H398H398H6862H3212H7628H7601H8154H4933H962H5414H95717For I will restore health to you, and I will heal your wounds, says the Lord, because they have called you an outcast, saying, This is Zion, whom no one seeks after {and} for whom no one cares!H5927H724H7495H4347H5002H3068H7121H5080H6726H187518Thus says the Lord: Behold, I will release from captivity the tents of Jacob and have mercy on his dwelling places; the city will be rebuilt on its own [old] moundlike site, and the palace will be dwelt in after its former fashion.H559H3068H7725H7622H3290H168H7355H4908H5892H1129H8510H759H3427H494119Out of them [city and palace] will come songs of thanksgiving and the voices of those who make merry. And I will multiply them, and they will not be few; I will also glorify them, and they will not be small.H3318H8426H6963H7832H7235H4591H3513H681920Their children too shall be as in former times, and their congregation shall be established before Me, and I will punish all who oppress them.H1121H6924H5712H3559H6440H6485H390521And their prince will be one of them, and their ruler will come from the midst of them. I will cause him to draw near and he will approach Me, for who is he who would have the boldness {and} would dare [on his own initiative] to approach Me? says the Lord.H117H4910H3318H7130H7126H5066H6148H3820H5066H5002H306822Then you will be My people, and I will be your God.H5971H43023Behold, the tempest of the Lord has gone forth with wrath, a sweeping {and} gathering tempest; it shall whirl {and} burst upon the heads of the wicked.H5591H3068H3318H2534H1641H5591H2342H7218H756324The fierce anger {and} indignation of the Lord shall not turn back until He has executed {and} accomplished the thoughts {and} intents of His mind {and} heart. In the latter days you shall understand this.H2740H639H3068H7725H6213H6965H4209H3820H319H3117H995
