Jeremiah 30
30
1 This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying:
2 "Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, saying: You shall write in a book all the words that I have spoken to you.
3 For behold, the days are approaching, says the Lord, when I will convert the turning away of my people, Israel and Judah, says the Lord. And I will return them to the land which I gave to their fathers, and they will possess it."
4 And these are the words which the Lord has spoken to Israel and to Judah:
5 For thus says the Lord: 'We have heard a voice of terror. There is dread, and there is no peace.'
6 Inquire and see, does a male give birth? Then why have I seen every man with his hand on his lower back, like a woman bearing a child? And why have all of their faces turned pale?
7 Woe! For that day is great, and there is nothing like it. For it is the time of tribulation for Jacob, but he will be saved from it.
8 And this shall be in that day, says the Lord of hosts: I will crush his yoke from your neck, and I will break open his bands. And strangers will no longer rule over him.
9 Instead, they will serve the Lord their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up for them.
10 Therefore, O my servant Jacob, you should not be afraid, says the Lord, and you should not be frightened, O Israel. For behold, I will save you from a far away land, and your offspring from the land of their captivity. And Jacob will return and have rest, and he shall flow with every good thing. And there will be no one for him to dread.
11 For I am with you, says the Lord, so that I may save you. For I will bring about the consummation of all the nations, among which I have scattered you. But I will not bring about your consummation. Instead, I will chastise you in judgment, so that you will not seem innocent to yourself."
12 For thus says the Lord: "Your fracture is incurable; your wound is very serious.
13 There is no one who may judge your judgment, so as to bandage it; there is no useful treatment for you.
14 All your lovers have forgotten you, and they will not seek you. For I have wounded you with the strike of an enemy, with a cruel chastisement. Your sins have become hardened because of the multitude of your iniquities.
15 Why do you cry out over your affliction? Your pain is incurable. I have done these things to you because of the multitude of your iniquity and because of your hardened sins.
16 Because of this, all those who devour you, will be devoured. And all your enemies will be led into captivity. And those who devastate you, will be devastated. And all those who prey upon you, I will offer as a prey.
17 For I will close up your scar, and I will heal you of your wounds, says the Lord. For they have called you an outcast, O Zion: 'This is she who has no one asking for her.' "
18 Thus says the Lord: "Behold, I will turn back the turning away of the tabernacles of Jacob, and I will take pity on his roofs. And the city will be built up in her heights, and the temple will be founded according to its order.
19 And praise will go forth from them, with the voice of those who play. And I will multiply them, and they will not be lessened. And I will glorify them, and they will not be weakened.
20 And their sons will be as in the beginning. And their assembly will remain in my sight. And I will visit against all those who trouble them.
21 And their ruler will one of their own. And their prince will be led forward from their midst. And I will draw him near, and he will cling to me. For who is the one who applies his heart, so that he may draw near to me, says the Lord?
22 And you shall be my people, and I will be your God."
23 Behold the whirlwind of the Lord, his fury going forth, a destroying storm! It will rest upon the head of the impious.
24 The Lord will not turn back the wrath of his indignation, until he has accomplished and completed the plan of his heart. In the last days, you shall understand these things.

Jeremiah 30
30
Israel and Judah Will Be Delivered from Their Distress
1The word that came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying,#Literally “to say” 2“Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, saying,#Literally “to say” ‘Write for yourself all the words that I have spoken to you in a scroll. 3For look, days are coming,’ declares#Literally “a declaration of” Yahweh, ‘when I will restore the fortunes#Hebrew “fortune” of my people Israel and Judah,’ says Yahweh, ‘and I will bring them back to the land that I gave to their ancestors#Or “fathers” and they will take possession of it.’ ”
4Now these are the words that Yahweh spoke concerning Israel and concerning Judah. 5“For thus says Yahweh:
‘We have heard a sound of trembling,
terror, and there is no peace.
6Ask please and see whether a male can bear a child.
Why do I see every strong man
with his hands on his loins like a woman giving birth?
And why are all their faces changed to paleness?
7Alas! For that day is great,
there is none like it.#Literally “from none like it”
And it is a time of distress for Jacob,
yet from it he will be delivered.
8And it will happen on that day,’ declares#Literally “a declaration of” Yahweh of hosts,
‘I will break his yoke from your neck
and your bonds I will tear to pieces.
And strangers will no longer let him work as a slave.
9But they will serve Yahweh their God,
and David their king, whom I will raise up for them.
10But you must not fear, my servant Jacob,’ declares#Literally “a declaration of” Yahweh,
‘and you must not be dismayed, Israel,
for look, I am going to save you from far,
and your offspring from the land of their captivity.
And Jacob will return,
and he will be at rest,
and he will be at ease,
and there will be no one who makes him#Here the direct object is supplied from context in the English translation afraid.
11For I am with you,’ declares#Literally “a declaration of” Yahweh, ‘to save you.
For I will make a complete destruction
of all the nations to which I scattered you,
but you I will not make a complete destruction.
And I will chastise you to the measure,
and I will not leave you entirely unpunished.’
12For thus says Yahweh,
‘Your injury is incurable,
your wound is overcome by sickness.
13There is no one who pleads your cause,
for your boil there is no healing for you.
14All your lovers have forgotten you,
they do not care for you.
I have struck you with the blow of an enemy,
the punishment of the cruel,
because of the greatness of your guilt,
your sins are numerous.
15Why do you cry because of your wound?
Your pain is incurable.
Because of the greatness of your guilt—your sins are vast—
I have done these things to you.
16Therefore#Literally “To thus” all those who devour you will be devoured,
and all your foes, all of them will go into captivity,
and those who plunder you will be as plunder,
and all those who plunder you I will make as plunder.
17For I will present healing to you,
and I will heal you of your wounds,’ declares#Literally “a declaration of” Yahweh.
‘Because they have called you an outcast, saying,
“It is Zion, there is no one who cares for her.” ’
18Thus says Yahweh:
‘Look, I will restore the fortunes#Hebrew “fortune” of the tents of Jacob,
and I will have compassion on his dwellings,
and the city will be rebuilt upon its mound,
and the citadel fortress will stand on its rightful site.
19And thanksgiving and the sound of merrymakers
will come out from them,
and I will make them numerous,
and they will not be few.
And I will make them honored,
and they will not be lowly.
20And their children will be as of old,
and their community will be established before me.#Literally “to the face of me”
And I will punish all their oppressors.
21And their noble will be from them,
and their ruler will come out from their midst.
And I will bring him near and he will approach me.
For who is he that would pledge his heart to approach me?’ declares#Literally “a declaration of” Yahweh.
22‘And you will be to me a people,
and I will be to you God.’ ”
23Look, the storm of Yahweh!
Wrath has gone forth,
a whirling tempest.
It will whirl upon the head of the wicked.
24The burning anger of Yahweh#Literally “The blaze of the nose of Yahweh” will not turn back until his doing,
and until his accomplishing the plans of his mind.#Literally “heart”
In the last of the days you will understand it.
