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

Israel and Judah Restored
1The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying: 2#Isa 30:8; Jer 36:32Thus says the Lord God of Israel: Write all the words that I have spoken to you in a book. 3#Jer 16:15; 29:14For surely the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will restore the fortunes of My people Israel and Judah. The Lord says, I also will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it.
4These are the words that the Lord spoke concerning Israel and Judah. 5#Isa 5:30; Am 5:16–18For thus says the Lord:
I have heard a sound of trembling,
of fear, and not of peace.
6#Jer 4:31; 6:24 Ask now, and see,
can a male labor with child?
Why do I see every man
with his hands on his loins, as a woman in labor,
and all faces turned pale?
7#Joel 2:11; Jer 30:10 Alas! for that day is great,
so that no one is like it;
it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble,
but he shall be saved out of it.
8#Eze 34:27; Isa 9:4; Jer 27:2 For it shall come to pass in that day, says the Lord of Hosts,
that I shall break his yoke from off their neck
and tear away their bonds,
and strangers shall no longer make them their slaves.
9#Hos 3:5; Lk 1:69; Isa 55:3–5 But they shall serve the Lord their God
and David their king,
whom I will raise up for them.
10#Isa 43:5; Jer 46:27–28 Therefore do not fear, O My servant Jacob,
says the Lord,
nor be dismayed, O Israel;
for I will save you from afar,
and your seed from the land of their captivity.
And Jacob shall return and shall be in rest and be quiet,
and no one shall make him afraid.
11#Jer 10:24; 4:27 For I am with you, says the Lord,
to save you.
Although I make a full end of all nations
wherever I have scattered you,
yet I will not make a full end of you.
But I will correct you in measure
and will not leave you altogether unpunished.
12#Jer 15:18; 2Ch 36:16For thus says the Lord:
Your bruise is incurable
and your wound is severe.
13#Jer 8:22; 46:11 There is no one to plead your cause
that you may be bound up.
You have no healing medicines.
14#Job 30:21; Jer 5:6 All your lovers have forgotten you;
they do not seek you;
for I have wounded you with the wound of an enemy,
with the chastisement of a cruel one,
because of the multitude of your iniquities, because your sins are numerous.
15#Jer 30:12; 30:14 Why do you cry because of your affliction?
Your sorrow is incurable.
Because of the multitude of your iniquities, because your sins are numerous,
I have done these things to you.
16#Jer 10:25; Isa 14:2 Therefore all who devour you will be devoured;
and all your adversaries, every one of them, will go into captivity.
And those who plunder you will become plunder,
and all who prey upon you I will give for prey.
17#Ex 15:26; Ps 107:20 For I will restore health to you,
and I will heal you of your wounds,
says the Lord,
because they called you an outcast, saying,
“This is Zion whom no man cares for.”
18#Jer 30:3; Ps 102:13Thus says the Lord:
I will restore the fortunes of Jacob’s tents
and have mercy on his dwelling places;
and the city will be built upon her own heap,
and the palace will remain on its rightful place.
19#Isa 35:10; 51:11 Out of them will proceed thanksgiving
and the voice 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.
20Their children also will be as before,
and their congregation will be established before Me;
and I will punish all who oppress them.
21#Nu 16:5; Ge 49:10 Their leader shall be one of them,
and their ruler shall proceed from their midst;
and I will cause him to draw near and he will approach Me;
for who is this that dares
to approach Me?
says the Lord.
22#Jer 24:7; 31:1 You shall be My people,
and I will be your God.
23#Jer 23:19–20; 25:32 Look, the whirlwind of the Lord
goes forth with fury,
a continuing whirlwind;
it will fall with pain upon the head of the wicked.
24#Jer 23:20; 4:28 The fierce anger of the Lord shall not return
until He has done it
and until He has performed the intentions of His heart.
In the latter days
you will understand it.
