Jeremiah 30

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.
