30:1 THE WORD THAT CAME TO JEREMIAS FROM THE
LORD, SAYING,
30:2 Thus speaks the Lord God of Israel, saying, Write all the words which I
have spoken to thee in a book.
30:3 For, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will bring back the
captivity of my people Israel and Juda, said the Lord: and I will bring them
back to the land which I gave to their fathers, and they shall be lords of
it.
30:4 AND THESE ARE THE WORDS WHICH THE LORD SPOKE CONCERNING ISRAEL AND JUDA;
30:5 Thus said the Lord: Ye shall hear a sound of fear, [there is] fear, and
there is not peace.
30:6 Enquire, and see if a male has born a child? and [ask] concerning the
fear, wherein they shall hold their loins, and [look for] safety: for I have
seen every man, and his hands are on his loins; [their] faces are turned to
paleness.
30:7 For that day is great, and there is not such [another]; and it is a
time of straitness to Jacob; but he shall be saved out of it.
30:8 In that day, said the Lord, I will break the yoke off their neck, and
will burst their bonds, and they shall no longer serve strangers:
30:9 but they shall serve the Lord their God; and I will raise up to them
David their king.
30:10
30:11
30:12 Thus saith the Lord; I have brought on [thee] destruction; thy stroke
is painful.
30:13 There is none to judge thy cause: thou hast been painfully treated for
healing, there is no help for thee.
30:14 All thy friends have forgotten thee; they shall not ask [about thee]
at all, for I have smitten thee with he stroke of an enemy, [even] severe
correction: thy sins have abounded above all thine iniquity.
30:15 Thy sins have abounded beyond the multitude of thine iniquities,
[therefore] they have done these things to thee.
30:16 Therefore all that devour thee shall be eaten, and all thine enemies
shall eat all their [own] flesh. And they that spoil thee shall become a
spoil, and I will give up to be plundered all that have plundered thee.
30:17 For I will bring about thy healing, I will heal thee of thy grievous
wound, saith the Lord; for thou art called Dispersed: she is your prey, for
no one seeks after her.
30:18 Thus said the Lord; Behold, I will turn the captivity of Jacob, and
will have pity upon his prisoners; and the city shall be built upon her
hill, and the people shall settle after their manner.
30:19 And there shall go forth from them singers, [even] the sound of men
making merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not at all be
diminished.
30:20 And their sons shall go in as before, and their testimonies shall be
established before me, and I will visit them that afflict them.
30:21 And their mighty ones shall be over them, and their prince shall
proceed of themselves; and I will gather them, and they shall return to me:
for who is this that has set his heart to return to me? saith the Lord.
30:22
30:23 For the wrathful anger of the lord has gone forth, [even] a whirlwind
of anger has gone forth: it shall come upon the ungodly.
30:24 The fierce anger of the Lord shall not return, until he shall execute
[it], and until he shall establish the purpose of his heart: in the latter
days ye shall know these things. |
30:1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the
LORD, saying,
30:2 Thus speaketh the LORD God of Israel, saying, Write thee all the words
that I have spoken unto thee in a book.
30:3 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.
30:4 And these are the words that the LORD spake concerning Israel and
concerning Judah.
30:5 For thus saith the LORD; We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear,
and not of peace.
30:6 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?
30:7 Alas! 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.
30:8 For 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 bonds, and
strangers shall no more serve themselves of him:
30:9 But they shall serve the LORD their God, and David their king, whom I
will raise up unto them.
30:10 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 him afraid.
30:11 For I am with thee, saith the LORD, to save thee: though I make a full
end of all nations whither I have scattered thee, yet I will not make a full
end of thee: but I will correct thee in measure, and will not leave thee
altogether unpunished.
30:12 For thus saith the LORD, Thy bruise is incurable, and thy wound is
grievous.
30:13 There is none to plead thy cause, that thou mayest be bound up: thou
hast no healing medicines.
30:14 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; because thy sins were increased.
30:15 Why criest thou for thine affliction? thy sorrow is incurable for the
multitude of thine iniquity: because thy sins were increased, I have done
these things unto thee.
30:16 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.
30:17 For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy
wounds, saith the LORD; because they called thee an Outcast, saying, This is
Zion, whom no man seeketh after.
30:18 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.
30:19 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.
30:20 Their children also shall be as aforetime, and their congregation
shall be established before me, and I will punish all that oppress them.
30:21 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 is this that engaged his heart to approach
unto me? saith the LORD.
30:22 And ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.
30:23 Behold, the whirlwind of the LORD goeth forth with fury, a continuing
whirlwind: it shall fall with pain upon the head of the wicked.
30:24 The fierce anger of the LORD shall not return, until he hath done it,
and until he have performed the intents of his heart: in the latter days ye
shall consider it. |
