# Jeremiah 30 [[Jeremiah 29|←]] • [[Jeremiah 31|→]] --- ### 1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying, ### 2 Thus speaketh the Lord God of Israel, saying, Write thee all the words that I have spoken unto thee in a book. ### 3 For, lo, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will bring 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. ### 4 And these the words that the Lord spake concerning Israel and concerning Judah. ### 5 For thus saith the Lord; We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace. ### 6 Ask 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? ### 7 Alas! for that day great, so that none like it: it even the time of Jacob's trouble; but he shall be saved out of it. ### 8 For it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord of hosts, I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and will burst thy bonds, and strangers shall no more serve themselves of him: ### 9 But they shall serve the Lord their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up unto them. ### 10 Therefore fear thou not, O my servant Jacob, 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 in rest, and be quiet, and none shall make afraid. ### 11 For I with thee, saith the Lord, to save thee: though I make a full end of all nations whither I have scattered thee, yet will I not make a full end of thee: but I will correct thee in measure, and will not leave thee altogether unpunished. ### 12 For thus saith the Lord, Thy bruise incurable, thy wound grievous. ### 13 none to plead thy cause, that thou mayest be bound up: thou hast no healing medicines. ### 14 All 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 multitude of thine iniquity; thy sins were increased. ### 15 Why criest thou for thine affliction? thy sorrow incurable for the multitude of thine iniquity: thy sins were increased, I have done these things unto thee. ### 16 Therefore 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. ### 17 For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the Lord; because they called thee an Outcast, This Zion, whom no man seeketh after. ### 18 Thus saith the Lord; Behold, I will bring again the captivity of Jacob's tents, and have mercy on his dwellingplaces; and the city shall be builded upon her own heap, and the palace shall remain after the manner thereof. ### 19 And 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. ### 20 Their children also shall be as aforetime, and their congregation shall be established before me, and I will punish all that oppress them. ### 21 And their nobles shall be of themselves, and their governor shall proceed from the midst of them; and I will cause him to draw near, and he shall approach unto me: for who this that engaged his heart to approach unto me? saith the Lord. ### 22 And ye shall be my people, and I will be your God. ### 23 Behold, the whirlwind of the Lord goeth forth with fury, a continuing whirlwind: it shall fall with pain upon the head of the wicked. ### 24 The fierce anger of the Lord shall not return, until he have done and until he have performed the intents of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it.
