Jeremiah 30
30
Return From Exile
1The word came to Jeremiah from Adonai, saying:
2thus says Adonai, the God of Israel: “Write all the words that I have spoken to you in a scroll.
3For behold, the days are coming,” declares Adonai, “when I will return My people Israel and Judah from exile,” declares Adonai. “I will bring them back to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they will possess it.”
Dread of Jacob’s Trouble
4Now these are the words that Adonai spoke to Israel and to Judah.
5For thus says Adonai: “We heard a sound of trembling, of dread—there is no shalom.
6Ask now, and see whether a man can give birth. Why do I see every man with his hands on his loins, like a woman giving birth? Why have all faces turned pale?
7Oy ! For that day is monumental. There will be none like it— a time of trouble for Jacob! Yet out of it he will be saved.
A Davidic King Brings Healing
8It will be in that day” —it is a declaration of Adonai-Tzva’ot— “that I will break his yoke from off your neck, and will tear off your bonds. Foreigners will no longer enslave him.
9Instead they will serve Adonai their God and David their king, whom I will raise up for them.
10So now, do not fear, Jacob My servant,” says Adonai, “nor be dismayed, O Israel, for behold, I will save you from afar, your seed from the land of their exile. Jacob will again be quiet and at ease, and no one will make him afraid.
11For I am with you,” declares Adonai, “to save you, for I will make a full end of all the nations where I scatter you. but I will not make a full end of you. For I will discipline you justly, but will not leave you unpunished.”
12For thus says Adonai: “Your hurt is incurable, and your wound is severe.
13No one pleads your cause, for there is no remedy for your wound, no healing for you.
14All your lovers have forgotten you. They are not looking for you. For I wounded you as an enemy— with cruel punishment— because your iniquity is vast, your sins innumerable.
15Why cry about your fracture? Your pain has no cure. Because your iniquity is vast, your sins innumerable, I did these things to you.
16Yet all who devour you will be devoured, and all your foes—all of them— will go into captivity. Those plundering you will be plundered, and all preying on you I give as prey.
17For I will restore health to you and will heal you of your wounds.” It is a declaration of Adonai. “For they called you an outcast: ‘Zion—no one cares about her.’”
18Thus says Adonai, “Indeed, I will return Jacob’s tents from exile, and have compassion on his dwellings. The city will be rebuilt on her mound. The citadel will stand in its rightful place.
19Out of them will come thanksgiving and the sound of celebration. I will multiply them, so they will not decrease. I will also honor them, so they will not be insignificant.
20His children also will be as formerly —his community set up before Me— and I will punish all his oppressors.
21His noble one will be one of His own. His ruler will come forth from among His own. I will bring Him near, and He will approach Me. For who is he who will pledge his heart to approach Me?” It is a declaration of Adonai.
22“So you will be My people, and I will be your God.”
23Look! A storm of Adonai! Fury has burst out as a churning storm, whirling about the head of the wicked.
24Adonai’s fierce anger will not turn back until He has done it, until He fulfills the purposes of His heart. in the last days you will understand it.
25“At that time,” declares Adonai, “I will be God to all families of Israel, and they will be My people.”

Restoration for Israel and Judah
1The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord: 2“Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: #ch. 36:2; Hab. 2:2Write in a book all the words that I have spoken to you. 3#Hab. 2:3 For behold, days are coming, declares the Lord, #ver. 18; ch. 29:14; 31:23; 32:44; 33:7, 11, 26; Job 42:10; Lam. 2:14 when I will restore #Ezra 2:1 the fortunes of my people, #Isa. 11:12, 13; Hos. 1:11 Israel and Judah, says the Lord, #ch. 12:15; Ezek. 20:42; See ch. 16:15; 23:3and I will bring them back to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall take possession of it.”
4These are the words that the Lord spoke concerning #[See ver. 3 above]Israel and Judah:
5“Thus says the Lord:
We have heard a cry of panic,
of terror, and no peace.
6Ask now, and see,
can a man bear a child?
# See Isa. 13:8 Why then do I see every man
with his hands on his stomach #See Isa. 13:8 like a woman in labor?
#
Nah. 2:10; [Joel 2:6] Why has every face turned pale?
7Alas! #Joel 2:11; Zeph. 1:14 That day is so great
#
Dan. 12:1
there is none like it;
it is a time of distress for Jacob;
yet he shall be saved out of it.
8“And it shall come to pass in that day, declares the Lord of hosts, that I will #ch. 2:20; Nah. 1:13 break his #See ch. 27:2 yoke from off your neck, and I will #ch. 2:20; Nah. 1:13 burst your bonds, #Ezek. 34:27and foreigners shall no more make a servant of him.#30:8 Or serve him 9But they shall serve the Lord their God and #Isa. 55:3, 4; Ezek. 34:23; 37:24; Hos. 3:5; [Luke 1:69, 70; Acts 13:22, 23]; See ch. 23:5David their king, whom I will raise up for them.
10 # ch. 42:11; 46:27, 28; See Isa. 43:5 “Then fear not, #Isa. 41:8 O Jacob my servant, declares the Lord,
nor be dismayed, O Israel;
for behold, #ch. 42:11; 46:27, 28; See Isa. 43:5 I will save you from far away,
# See ch. 3:18 and your offspring from the land of their captivity.
# ch. 42:11; 46:27, 28; See Isa. 43:5 Jacob shall return and have quiet and ease,
and none shall make him afraid.
11 # ch. 46:28 For I am with you to save you,
declares the Lord;
# ch. 46:28 I will make a full end of all the nations
among whom I scattered you,
but of you I will not make a full end.
# ch. 46:28 I will #See ch. 10:24discipline you in just measure,
and I will by no means leave you unpunished.
12“For thus says the Lord:
# See ch. 15:18 Your hurt is incurable,
# ch. 10:19; 14:17 and your wound is grievous.
13There is none to uphold your cause,
no medicine for your wound,
# ch. 46:11 no healing for you.
14 #
Lam. 1:2; [ch. 4:30] All your lovers have forgotten you;
they care nothing for you;
for I have dealt you the blow of #Job 13:24; 19:11; Isa. 63:10; Lam. 2:4 an enemy,
the punishment #Job 30:21; [ch. 6:23] of a merciless foe,
because your guilt is great,
# ch. 5:6 because your sins are flagrant.
15 # [See ver. 12 above] Why do you cry out over your hurt?
# [See ver. 12 above] Your pain is incurable.
Because your guilt is great,
# [See ver. 14 above] because your sins are flagrant,
I have done these things to you.
16 # [ver. 11; ch. 10:25; Isa. 41:11] Therefore all who devour you shall be devoured,
and #[Ex. 23:22] all your foes, every one of them, shall go into captivity;
# [Isa. 33:1] those who plunder you shall be plundered,
# ch. 2:14 and all who prey on you I will make a prey.
17 # ch. 33:6 For I will restore #ch. 8:22 health to you,
and #Ps. 6:2; Hos. 6:1 your wounds I will heal,
declares the Lord,
because #[Mic. 4:6, 7; Zeph. 3:19]they have called you an outcast:
# [Mic. 4:6, 7; Zeph. 3:19] ‘It is Zion, for whom no one cares!’
18“Thus says the Lord:
Behold, #[Amos 9:11]; See ver. 3 I will restore the fortunes of the tents of Jacob
and have compassion on his dwellings;
the city shall be rebuilt on #Deut. 13:16its mound,
and the palace shall stand where it used to be.
19 # ch. 31:12, 13; 33:11; Isa. 35:10; 51:11 Out of them shall come songs of thanksgiving,
and the voices of those who celebrate.
#
Ezek. 36:10, 37; Zech. 10:8 I will multiply them, and they shall not be few;
I will make them honored, and they shall not be small.
20 #
Isa. 1:26
Their children shall be as they were of old,
and their congregation shall be established before me,
and I will punish all who oppress them.
21 # [Gen. 49:10; Deut. 18:18] Their prince shall be one of themselves;
# [Gen. 49:10; Deut. 18:18] their ruler shall come out from their midst;
#
Num. 16:5 I will make him draw near, and he shall approach me,
# ch. 49:19; [Heb. 5:4] for who would dare of himself to approach me?
declares the Lord.
22 # ch. 24:7; 31:1; 32:38; See ch. 31:33; Lev. 26:12 And you shall be my people,
and I will be your God.”
23 # ch. 23:19, 20 Behold #ch. 25:32the storm of the Lord!
Wrath has gone forth,
a whirling tempest;
it will burst upon the head of the wicked.
24 # See ch. 12:13 The fierce anger of the Lord will not turn back
until he has executed and accomplished
the intentions of his mind.
#
Hos. 3:5
In the latter days you will understand this.
