Jeremiah 30
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.

Jeremiah 30
30
1The word that hath been unto Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying,
2‘Thus spake Jehovah, God of Israel, saying, Write for thee all the words that I have spoken unto thee on a book.
3For, lo, days are coming — an affirmation of Jehovah — and I have turned back [to] the captivity of My people Israel and Judah, said Jehovah, and I have caused them to turn back unto the land that I gave to their fathers, and they do possess it.’
4And these [are] the words that Jehovah hath spoken concerning Israel and concerning Judah:
5Surely thus said Jehovah: A voice of trembling we have heard, Fear — and there is no peace.
6Ask, I pray you, and see, is a male bringing forth? Wherefore have I seen every man, His hands on his loins, as a travailing woman, And all faces have been turned to paleness?
7Woe! for great [is] that day, without any like it, Yea, a time of adversity it [is] to Jacob, Yet out of it he is saved.
8And it hath come to pass, in that day, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts, I break his yoke from off thy neck, And thy bands I draw away, And lay no more service on him do strangers.
9And they have served Jehovah their God, And David their king whom I raise up to them.
10And thou, be not afraid, My servant Jacob, An affirmation of Jehovah, Nor be affrighted, O Israel, For, lo, I am saving thee from afar, And thy seed from the land of their captivity, And Jacob hath turned back and rested, And is quiet, and there is none troubling.
11For with thee [am] I, An affirmation of Jehovah — to save thee, For I make an end of all the nations Whither I have scattered thee, Only, of thee I do not make an end, And I have chastised thee in judgment, And do not entirely acquit thee.
12For thus said Jehovah: Incurable is thy breach, grievous thy stroke,
13There is none judging thy cause to bind up, Healing medicines there are none for thee.
14All loving thee have forgotten thee, Thee they do not seek, For with the stroke of an enemy I smote thee, The chastisement of a fierce one, Because of the abundance of thy iniquity, Mighty have been thy sins!
15What! — thou criest concerning thy breach! Incurable [is] thy pain, Because of the abundance of thy iniquity, Mighty have been thy sins! I have done these to thee.
16Therefore all consuming thee are consumed, And all thine adversaries — all of them — Into captivity do go, And thy spoilers have been for a spoil, And all thy plunderers I give up to plunder.
17For I increase health to thee, And from thy strokes I do heal thee, An affirmation of Jehovah, For ‘Outcast’ they have called to thee, ‘Zion it [is], there is none seeking for her.’
18Thus said Jehovah: Lo, I turn back [to] the captivity of the tents of Jacob, And his dwelling places I pity, And the city hath been built on its heap, And the palace according to its ordinance remaineth.
19And gone forth from them hath thanksgiving, And the voice of playful ones, And I have multiplied them and they are not few, And made them honourable, and they are not small.
20And his sons have been as aforetime, And his company before Me is established, And I have seen after all his oppressors.
21And his honourable one hath been of himself, And his ruler from his midst goeth forth, And I have caused him to draw near, And he hath drawn nigh unto Me, For who [is] he who hath pledged his heart To draw nigh unto Me? An affirmation of Jehovah.
22And ye have been to Me for a people, And I am to you for God.
23Lo, a whirlwind of Jehovah — Fury hath gone forth — a cutting whirlwind, On the head of the wicked it stayeth.
24The fierceness of the anger of Jehovah Doth not turn back till His doing, Yea, till His establishing the devices of His heart, In the latter end of the days we consider it!
