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.

Jeremiah 30
30
1The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, 2Thus speaketh the LORD, the God of Israel, saying, Write thee all the words that I have spoken unto thee in a book. 3For, lo, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will turn again the captivity of my people Israel and Judah, saith the LORD: and I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it. 4And these are the words that the LORD spake concerning Israel and concerning Judah. 5For thus saith the LORD: We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace. 6Ask ye now, and see whether a man doth travail with child: wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness? 7Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob's trouble; but he shall be saved out of it. 8And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and will burst thy bands; and strangers shall no more serve themselves of him: 9but they shall serve the LORD their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up unto them.
10Therefore fear thou not, O Jacob my servant, saith the LORD; neither be dismayed, O Israel: for, lo, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be quiet and at ease, and none shall make him afraid. 11For I am with thee, saith the LORD, to save thee: for I will make a full end of all the nations whither I have scattered thee, but I will not make a full end of thee; but I will correct thee with judgement, and will in no wise leave thee unpunished. 12For thus saith the LORD, Thy hurt is incurable, and thy wound grievous. 13There is none to plead thy cause, that thou mayest be bound up: thou hast no healing medicines. 14All thy lovers have forgotten thee; they seek thee not: for I have wounded thee with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel one; for the greatness of thine iniquity, because thy sins were increased. 15Why criest thou for thy hurt? thy pain is incurable: for the greatness of thine iniquity, because thy sins were increased, I have done these things unto thee. 16Therefore all they that devour thee shall be devoured; and all thine adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity; and they that spoil thee shall be a spoil, and all that prey upon thee will I give for a prey. 17For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the LORD; because they have called thee an outcast, saying, It is Zion, whom no man seeketh after.
18Thus saith the LORD: Behold, I will turn again the captivity of Jacob's tents, and have compassion on his dwelling places; and the city shall be builded upon her own heap, and the palace shall remain after the manner thereof. 19And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of them that make merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be few; I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small. 20Their children also shall be as aforetime, and their congregation shall be established before me, and I will punish all that oppress them. 21And their prince shall be of themselves, and their ruler shall proceed from the midst of them; and I will cause him to draw near, and he shall approach unto me: for who is he that hath had boldness to approach unto me? saith the LORD. 22And ye shall be my people, and I will be your God. 23Behold, the tempest of the LORD, even his fury, is gone forth, a sweeping tempest: it shall burst upon the head of the wicked. 24The fierce anger of the LORD shall not return, until he have executed, and till he have performed the intents of his heart: in the latter days ye shall understand it.
