JER-30:1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
JER-30:2 Thus speaketh the LORD God of Israel, saying, Write
thee all the words that I have spoken unto thee in a book.
JER-30:3 For, lo, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will
bring again the captivity of my people Israel and Judah, saith
the LORD: and I will cause them to return to the land that I
gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it.
JER-30:4 And these [are] the words that the LORD spake
concerning Israel and concerning Judah.
JER-30:5 For thus saith the LORD; We have heard a voice of
trembling, of fear, and not of peace.
JER-30:6 Ask ye now, and see whether a man doth 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?
JER-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.
JER-30:8 For it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD
of hosts, [that] I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and
will burst thy bonds, and strangers shall no more serve
themselves of him:
JER-30:9 But they shall serve the LORD their God, and David
their king, whom I will raise up unto them.
JER-30:10 Therefore fear thou not, O my servant Jacob, saith the
LORD; neither be dismayed, O Israel: for, lo, I will save thee
from afar, and thy 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.
JER-30:11 For I [am] with thee, saith the LORD, to save thee:
though I make a full end of all nations whither I have scattered
thee, yet will I not make a full end of thee: but I will correct
thee in measure, and will not leave thee altogether unpunished.
JER-30:12 For thus saith the LORD, Thy bruise [is] incurable,
[and] thy wound [is] grievous.
JER-30:13 [There is] none to plead thy cause, that thou mayest
be bound up: thou hast no healing medicines.
JER-30:14 All thy lovers have forgotten thee; they seek thee not;
for I have wounded thee with the wound of an enemy, with the
chastisement of a cruel one, for the multitude of thine iniquity;
[because] thy sins were increased.
JER-30:15 Why criest thou for thine affliction? thy sorrow [is]
incurable for the multitude of thine iniquity: [because] thy
sins were increased, I have done these things unto thee.
JER-30:16 Therefore all they that devour thee shall be devoured;
and all thine adversaries, every one of them, shall go into
captivity; and they that spoil thee shall be a spoil, and all
that prey upon thee will I give for a prey.
JER-30:17 For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal
thee of thy wounds, saith the LORD; because they called thee an
Outcast, [saying], This [is] Zion, whom no man seeketh after.
JER-30:18 Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will bring again the
captivity of Jacob's tents, and have mercy on his dwellingplaces;
and the city shall be builded upon her own heap, and the palace
shall remain after the manner thereof.
JER-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.
JER-30:20 Their children also shall be as aforetime, and their
congregation shall be established before me, and I will punish
all that oppress them.
JER-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? saith the LORD.
JER-30:22 And ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.
JER-30:23 Behold, the whirlwind of the LORD goeth forth with
fury, a continuing whirlwind: it shall fall with pain upon the
head of the wicked.
JER-30:24 The fierce anger of the LORD shall not return, until
he have done [it], and until he have performed the intents of
his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it.
