Jeremiah (52 chapters)
Jeremiah 30
1
The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
2
Thus speaketh the LORD God of Israel, saying, Write thee all the words
that I have spoken unto thee in a book.
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.
4
And these are the words that the LORD spake concerning Israel and
concerning Judah.
5
For thus saith the LORD; We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and
not of peace.
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?
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.
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:
9
But they shall serve the LORD their God, and David their king, whom I will
raise up unto them.
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.
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 I will not make a full end
of thee: but I will correct thee in measure, and will not leave thee
altogether unpunished.
12
For thus saith the LORD, Thy bruise is incurable, and thy wound is
grievous.
13
There is none to plead thy cause, that thou mayest be bound up: thou hast
no healing medicines.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
20
Their children also shall be as aforetime, and their congregation shall be
established before me, and I will punish all that oppress them.
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.
22
And ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.
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.
24
The fierce anger of the LORD shall not return, until he hath done it, and
until he have performed the intents of his heart: in the latter days ye
shall consider it.
