Jeremiah 30
30
Restoration from Captivity
1This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord. 2“This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: Write on a scroll all the words that I have spoken to you,#Ex 17:14; 34:1,27; Nm 5:23; Dt 17:18; 27:3; 31:19; Is 30:8; Jr 36:2,28; Ezk 43:11; Hs 8:12; Hab 2:2; 1Co 14:37; Rv 1:11; 10:4; 14:13; 19:9; 21:5 3for look, the days are coming” — this is the Lord’s declaration — “when I will restore the fortunes#30:3 Or will end the captivity of my people Israel and Judah,”#Jr 33:7,11; Ezk 37:15–23; 39:25; Jl 3:1; Am 9:14 says the Lord. “I will restore them to the land I gave to their ancestors and they will possess it.”
4These are the words the Lord spoke to Israel and Judah. 5This is what the Lord says:
We have heard a cry of terror,
of dread — there is no peace.
6Ask 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?#Ps 48:6; Is 13:8; 21:3; 42:14; Jr 4:31; 6:24; 13:21; 22:23; 50:43; Mc 4:9–10; 1Th 5:3
7How awful that day will be!#Jl 2:11; Zph 1:14
There will be no other like it!#Dn 12:1
It will be a time of trouble for Jacob,
but he will be saved out of it.
8On that day —
this is the declaration of the Lord of Armies —
I will break his yoke from your neck#Gn 27:40; Jr 2:20; 28:4,11; Ezk 34:27; Nah 1:13
and tear off your chains,#Jr 27:2
and strangers will never again enslave him.#Ezk 34:27
9They will serve the Lord their God
and David their king,
whom I will raise up for them.#Is 55:3–5; Ezk 34:23–24; 37:24–25; Hs 3:5; Lk 1:69; Ac 13:23,34
10As for you, my servant Jacob,#Is 41:8; 44:2; 45:4; 48:20; Jr 46:27; Ezk 28:25; 37:25
do not be afraid —
this is the Lord’s declaration —
and do not be discouraged, Israel,
for without fail I will save you out of a distant place,
your descendants, from the land of their captivity!
Jacob will return and have calm and quiet
with no one to frighten him.#Lv 26:6; Jr 46:27; Ezk 34:28; 39:26; Mc 4:4; Zph 3:13
11For I will be with you —
this is the Lord’s declaration —
to save you!#2Kg 19:34; Is 37:35; Jr 15:20
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,
and I will by no means leave you unpunished.#Ex 34:7; Jr 46:27–28
Healing Zion’s Wounds
12For this is what the Lord says:
Your injury is incurable;
your wound most severe.#Jr 10:19; 15:18; 17:9
13You have no defender for your case.#Hs 5:13
There is no remedy for your sores,
and no healing for you.#30:13 Or No one pleads that your sores should be healed. There is no remedy for you.
14All your lovers have forgotten you;#Jr 4:30; Lm 1:19
they no longer look for you,
for I have struck you as an enemy would,
with the discipline#Jr 2:30; 5:3; 7:28 of someone cruel,#Is 13:9
because of your enormous guilt
and your innumerable sins.
15Why 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.#Jr 5:6; Am 5:12
16Nevertheless, all who devoured you will be devoured,#Jr 10:25
and all your adversaries — all of them —
will go off into exile.
Those who plunder you will be plundered,
and all who raid you will be raided.#Ezk 39:10; Hab 2:8
17But I will bring you health#Is 58:8; Jr 8:22; 33:6
and will heal you of your wounds —
this is the Lord’s declaration —
for they call you Outcast,
Zion whom no one cares about.
Restoration of the Land
18This is what the Lord says:
I will certainly restore the fortunes#30:18 Or certainly end the captivity of Jacob’s tents#Jr 30:3
and show compassion#Jr 12:15; 31:20; 33:26; 42:12 on his dwellings.
Every city will be rebuilt on its mound;
every citadel will stand on its proper site.
19Thanksgiving will come out of them,
a sound of rejoicing.
I will multiply them, and they will not decrease;#Jr 29:6
I will honor them, and they will not be insignificant.
20His children will be as in past days;
his congregation will be established in my presence.
I will punish all his oppressors.#Jdg 10:12; Is 19:20–25
21Jacob’s leader will be one of them;
his ruler will issue from him.
I will invite him to me, and he will approach me,#Nm 16:5
for who would otherwise risk his life to approach me?
This is the Lord’s declaration.
22You will be my people,
and I will be your God.#Jr 11:4; 24:7; 31:33
The Wrath of God
23Look, a storm from the Lord!#Ps 83:15; Is 29:6; Zch 9:14
Wrath has gone out,
a churning storm.
It will whirl about the heads of the wicked.
24The 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.#Jr 23:19–20

Restoration of Israel and Judah
1The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying, 2“Thus speaks the Lord God of Israel, saying: ‘Write in a book for yourself all the words that I have spoken to you. 3For behold, the days are coming,’ says the Lord, ‘that #Ps. 53:6; Jer. 29:14; 30:18; 32:44; Ezek. 39:25; Amos 9:14; Zeph. 3:20I will bring back from captivity My people Israel and Judah,’ says the Lord. #Jer. 16:15; Ezek. 20:42; 36:24‘And I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it.’ ”
4Now these are the words that the Lord spoke concerning Israel and Judah.
5“For thus says the Lord:
‘We have heard a voice of trembling,
Of fear, and not of peace.
6Ask now, and see,
Whether a man is ever in labor with child?
So why do I see every man with his hands on his loins
#Jer. 4:31; 6:24Like a woman in labor,
And all faces turned pale?
7#(Is. 2:12); Hos. 1:11; Joel 2:11; Amos 5:18; Zeph. 1:14Alas! For that day is great,
#Lam. 1:12; Dan. 9:12; 12:1So that none is like it;
And it is the time of Jacob’s trouble,
But he shall be saved out of it.
8‘For it shall come to pass in that day,’
Says the Lord of hosts,
‘That I will break his yoke from your neck,
And will burst your bonds;
Foreigners shall no more enslave them.
9But they shall serve the Lord their God,
And #Is. 55:3; Ezek. 34:23; 37:24; Hos. 3:5David their king,
Whom I will #(Luke 1:69; Acts 2:30; 13:23)raise up for them.
10‘Therefore #Is. 41:13; 43:5; 44:2; Jer. 46:27, 28do not fear, O My servant Jacob,’ says the Lord,
‘Nor be dismayed, O Israel;
For behold, I will save you from afar,
And your seed #Jer. 3:18from the land of their captivity.
Jacob shall return, have rest and be quiet,
And no one shall make him afraid.
11For I am with #(Is. 43:2–5)you,’ says the Lord, ‘to save you;
#Amos 9:8Though I make a full end of all nations where I have scattered you,
#Jer. 4:27; 46:27, 28Yet I will not make a complete end of you.
But I will correct you #Ps. 6:1; Is. 27:8; Jer. 10:24; 46:28in justice,
And will not let you go altogether unpunished.’
12“For thus says the Lord:
#2 Chr. 36:16; Jer. 15:18‘Your affliction is incurable,
Your wound is severe.
13There is no one to plead your cause,
That you may be bound up;
#Jer. 8:22You have no healing medicines.
14#Jer. 22:20, 22; Lam. 1:2All your lovers have forgotten you;
They do not seek you;
For I have wounded you with the wound #Job 13:24; 16:9; 19:11of an enemy,
With the chastisement #Job 30:21of a cruel one,
For the multitude of your iniquities,
#Jer. 5:6Because your sins have increased.
15Why #Jer. 15:18do you cry about your affliction?
Your sorrow is incurable.
Because of the multitude of your iniquities,
Because your sins have increased,
I have done these things to you.
16‘Therefore all those who devour you #Ex. 23:22; Is. 41:11; Jer. 10:25shall be devoured;
And all your adversaries, every one of them, shall go into #Is. 14:2; Joel 3:8captivity;
Those who plunder you shall become #Is. 33:1; Ezek. 39:10plunder,
And all who prey upon you I will make a #Jer. 2:3prey.
17#Ex. 15:26; Ps. 107:20; Is. 30:26; Jer. 33:6For I will restore health to you
And heal you of your wounds,’ says the Lord,
‘Because they called you an outcast saying:
“This is Zion;
No one seeks her.” ’
18“Thus says the Lord:
‘Behold, I will bring back the captivity of Jacob’s tents,
And #Ps. 102:13have mercy on his dwelling places;
The city shall be built upon its own mound,
And the palace shall remain according to its own plan.
19Then #Ps. 126:1, 2; Is. 51:11; Jer. 31:4; Zeph. 3:14out of them shall proceed thanksgiving
And the voice of those who make merry;
#Is. 49:19–21; Jer. 23:3; 33:22; Zech. 10:8I will multiply them, and they shall not diminish;
I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small.
20Their children also shall be #Is. 1:26as before,
And their congregation shall be established before Me;
And I will punish all who oppress them.
21Their nobles shall be from among them,
#Gen. 49:10And their governor shall come from their midst;
Then I will #Num. 16:5; Ps. 65:4cause him to draw near,
And he shall approach Me;
For who is this who pledged his heart to approach Me?’ says the Lord.
22‘You shall be #Ex. 6:7; Jer. 32:38; Ezek. 36:28; Hos. 2:23; Zech. 13:9My people,
And I will be your God.’ ”
23Behold, the #Jer. 23:19, 20; 25:32whirlwind of the Lord
Goes forth with fury,
A continuing whirlwind;
It will fall violently on the head of the wicked.
24The fierce anger of the Lord will not return until He has done it,
And until He has performed the intents of His heart.
#Gen. 49:1In the latter days you will consider it.
