Jeremiah 30:1-24 — Restoration of Israel

Jer.30.1-24

¹The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying: ²"Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel: 'Write for yourself all the words that I have spoken to you in a scroll. ³For behold, days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will restore the fortunes of my people Israel and Judah, says the LORD. I will bring them back to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they will possess it.'" ⁴These are the words that the LORD spoke concerning Israel and Judah. ⁵For thus says the LORD: "We have heard a sound of trembling, of terror, and there is no peace. ⁶Ask now, and see: Can a male give birth? Why then do I see every strong man with his hands on his stomach like a woman in labor, and every face turned pale? ⁷Alas! For that day is great, there is none like it; it is a time of distress for Jacob, yet he will be saved out of it. ⁸And it shall come to pass on that day, declares the LORD of Hosts, that I will break his yoke from off your neck, and I will tear off your bonds; and strangers will no longer enslave him. ⁹Instead, they will serve the LORD their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up for them. ¹⁰As for you, do not be afraid, my servant Jacob, declares the LORD, and do not be dismayed, O Israel; for behold, I will save you from afar, and your offspring from the land of their captivity. Jacob will return, and be quiet and at ease, with no one to make him afraid. ¹¹For I am with you, declares the LORD, to save you; for I will make a full end of all the nations where I have scattered you, but of you I will not make a full end. I will discipline you with justice, and I will by no means leave you unpunished." ¹²For thus says the LORD: "Your injury is incurable, your wound is severe. ¹³There is no one to plead your cause ; for your sore there are no healing bandages, no recovery for you. ¹⁴All your lovers have forgotten you; they do not seek you. For I have struck you with the blow of an enemy, with the discipline of a cruel one, because of the greatness of your iniquity, because your sins are numerous. ¹⁵Why do you cry out over your injury? Your pain is incurable! Because of the greatness of your iniquity, because your sins are numerous, I have done these things to you. ¹⁶Therefore all who devour you will be devoured, and all your adversaries, every one of them, will go into captivity; those who plunder you will be plundered, and all who prey upon you I will give up as prey. ¹⁷For I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds, declares the LORD, because they have called you an outcast: 'She is Zion, for whom no one cares!' ¹⁸Thus says the LORD: "Behold, I will restore the fortunes of the tents of Jacob, and have compassion on his dwellings; the city will be rebuilt upon its own mound of ruins, and the palace will stand in its rightful place. ¹⁹Out of them will proceed thanksgiving and the sound of those who celebrate. I will multiply them, and they will not be few; I will honor them, and they will not be insignificant. ²⁰Their children will be as in days of old, and their congregation will be established before me, and I will punish all their oppressors. ²¹Their leader will be one of their own, and their ruler will proceed from their midst. I will bring him near, and he will approach me; for who is he who would dare risk his life to approach me? declares the LORD. ²²'And you will be my people, and I will be your God.' ²³Behold, the storm of the LORD! Wrath has gone forth, a sweeping whirlwind; it will burst upon the head of the wicked. ²⁴The fierce anger of the LORD will not turn back until he has executed and accomplished the purposes of his heart. In the latter days you will understand it.
