Jeremiah 30:10-22

New International Version

¹⁰ “‘So do not be afraid,^(A) Jacob my servant;^(B)
    do not be dismayed, Israel,’
declares the Lord.
‘I will surely save^(C) you out of a distant place,
    your descendants from the land of their exile.
Jacob will again have peace and security,^(D)
    and no one will make him afraid.^(E)
11 I am with you^(F) and will save you,’
    declares the Lord.
‘Though I completely destroy all the nations
    among which I scatter you,
    I will not completely destroy^(G) you.
I will discipline^(H) you but only in due measure;
    I will not let you go entirely unpunished.’^(I)

“‘Your wound^(J) is incurable,
    your injury beyond healing.^(K)
13 There is no one to plead your cause,^(L)
    no remedy for your sore,
    no healing^(M) for you.
¹⁴ All your allies^(N) have forgotten you;
    they care nothing for you.
I have struck you as an enemy^(O) would
    and punished you as would the cruel,^(P)
because your guilt is so great
    and your sins^(Q) so many.
¹⁵ Why do you cry out over your wound,
    your pain that has no cure?^(R)
Because of your great guilt and many sins
    I have done these things to you.^(S)

¹⁶ “‘But all who devour^(T) you will be devoured;
    all your enemies will go into exile.^(U)
Those who plunder^(V) you will be plundered;
    all who make spoil of you I will despoil.
¹⁷ But I will restore you to health
    and heal^(W) your wounds,’
declares the Lord,
‘because you are called an outcast,^(X)
    Zion for whom no one cares.’^(Y)

“‘I will restore the fortunes^(Z) of Jacob’s tents^(AA)
    and have compassion^(AB) on his dwellings;
the city will be rebuilt^(AC) on her ruins,
    and the palace will stand in its proper place.
¹⁹ From them will come songs^(AD) of thanksgiving^(AE)
    and the sound of rejoicing.^(AF)
I will add to their numbers,^(AG)
    and they will not be decreased;
I will bring them honor,^(AH)
    and they will not be disdained.
²⁰ Their children^(AI) will be as in days of old,
    and their community will be established^(AJ) before me;
    I will punish^(AK) all who oppress them.
²¹ Their leader^(AL) will be one of their own;
    their ruler will arise from among them.^(AM)
I will bring him near^(AN) and he will come close to me—
    for who is he who will devote himself
    to be close to me?’
declares the Lord.
²² “‘So you will be my people,^(AO)
    and I will be your God.^(AP)’”
