Jeremiah 30
Revised Geneva Translation
30 The Word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
2 “Thus speaks the LORD God of Israel, saying, ‘Write all the Words that I have spoken to you in a Book.
3 ‘For lo, the days come,’ says the LORD, ‘that I will bring back the captivity of My people, Israel and Judah,’ says the LORD. ‘For I will restore them to the land that I gave to their fathers. And they shall possess it.’”
4 Again, these are the Words that the LORD spoke concerning Israel and concerning Judah.
5 “For thus says the LORD: ‘We have heard a terrible voice, of fear and not of peace.
6 ‘Demand now and behold if a man can labor with child. Why do I behold every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in labor, and all faces are turned pale?
7 ‘Alas, for this day is great. None like it. It is the time of Jacob’s trouble, yet shall he be delivered from it.
8 ‘For on that day,’ says the LORD of Hosts, ‘I will break his yoke from off your neck and break your bonds. And strangers shall no longer enslave them.
9 ‘But they shall serve the LORD their God and David, their king, whom I will raise up to them.
10 ‘Therefore, do not fear, O My servant, Jacob,’ says the LORD, ‘or be afraid, O Israel. For lo, I will deliver you from afar, and your seed from the land of their captivity, and Jacob shall turn back, and shall be in rest and peace. And no one shall make him afraid.
11 ‘For I am with you,’ says the LORD, ‘to save you. Though I utterly destroy all the nations where I have scattered you, still I will not utterly destroy you. But I will correct you by judgment, not utterly cut you off.’
12 “For thus says the LORD: ‘Your bruising is incurable. Your wound is grievous.
13 ‘There is no one to judge your cause or bind your wounds. There are neither medicines nor help for you.
14 ‘All your lovers have forgotten you. They do not seek you. For I have stricken you with the wound of an enemy, with a sharp chastisement for the multitude of your iniquities. Your sins have increased.
15 ‘Why do you cry for your affliction? Your sorrow is incurable. Because of the multitude of your iniquities, the increase of your sins, I have done these things to you.
16 ‘Therefore, all those who devour you shall be devoured. And all your enemies, everyone, shall go into captivity. And those who plunder you shall be plundered. And all those who rob you, I will give to be robbed.
17 ‘For I will restore health to you and I will heal you of your wounds,’ says the LORD, ‘because they called you, “The Castaway,” saying, “This is Zion, whom no man seeks after.”
18 “Thus says the LORD: ‘Behold, I will bring back the captivity of Jacob’s tents, and have compassion on his dwelling places. And the city shall be built upon her own heap. And the palace shall remain in its rightful place.
19 ‘And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving, and the voice of those who are joyous. And I will multiply them. And they shall not be few. I will also glorify them, and they shall not be diminished.
20 ‘Their children, also, shall be as before. And their congregation shall be established before Me. And I will reckon with all who trouble them.
21 ‘And their nobles shall be from among themselves. And their governor shall proceed from the midst of them. And I will cause him to draw near and approach Me. For who is this who directs his heart to come to Me,’ says the LORD?
22 ‘And you shall be My people, and I will be your God.’”
23 Behold, the tempest of the LORD goes forth with wrath! The whirlwind that hangs over shall light upon the head of the wicked.
24 The fierce wrath of the LORD shall not return until He is done, and until He has performed the intent of His Heart. In the latter days you shall understand it.

Restoration of Israel
30 This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord: 2 “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: ‘Write(A) in a book all the words I have spoken to you. 3 The days(B) are coming,’ declares the Lord, ‘when I will bring(C) my people Israel and Judah back from captivity[a] and restore(D) them to the land I gave their ancestors to possess,’ says the Lord.”
4 These are the words the Lord spoke concerning Israel and Judah: 5 “This is what the Lord says:
“‘Cries of fear(E) are heard—
terror, not peace.
6 Ask and see:
Can a man bear children?
Then why do I see every strong man
with his hands on his stomach like a woman in labor,(F)
every face turned deathly pale?(G)
7 How awful that day(H) will be!
No other will be like it.
It will be a time of trouble(I) for Jacob,
but he will be saved(J) out of it.
8 “‘In that day,’ declares the Lord Almighty,
‘I will break the yoke(K) off their necks
and will tear off their bonds;(L)
no longer will foreigners enslave them.(M)
9 Instead, they will serve the Lord their God
and David(N) their king,(O)
whom I will raise up for them.
10 “‘So do not be afraid,(P) Jacob my servant;(Q)
do not be dismayed, Israel,’
declares the Lord.
‘I will surely save(R) you out of a distant place,
your descendants from the land of their exile.
Jacob will again have peace and security,(S)
and no one will make him afraid.(T)
11 I am with you(U) and will save you,’
declares the Lord.
‘Though I completely destroy all the nations
among which I scatter you,
I will not completely destroy(V) you.
I will discipline(W) you but only in due measure;
I will not let you go entirely unpunished.’(X)
12 “This is what the Lord says:
“‘Your wound(Y) is incurable,
your injury beyond healing.(Z)
13 There is no one to plead your cause,(AA)
no remedy for your sore,
no healing(AB) for you.
14 All your allies(AC) have forgotten you;
they care nothing for you.
I have struck you as an enemy(AD) would
and punished you as would the cruel,(AE)
because your guilt is so great
and your sins(AF) so many.
15 Why do you cry out over your wound,
your pain that has no cure?(AG)
Because of your great guilt and many sins
I have done these things to you.(AH)
16 “‘But all who devour(AI) you will be devoured;
all your enemies will go into exile.(AJ)
Those who plunder(AK) you will be plundered;
all who make spoil of you I will despoil.
17 But I will restore you to health
and heal(AL) your wounds,’
declares the Lord,
‘because you are called an outcast,(AM)
Zion for whom no one cares.’(AN)
18 “This is what the Lord says:
“‘I will restore the fortunes(AO) of Jacob’s tents(AP)
and have compassion(AQ) on his dwellings;
the city will be rebuilt(AR) on her ruins,
and the palace will stand in its proper place.
19 From them will come songs(AS) of thanksgiving(AT)
and the sound of rejoicing.(AU)
I will add to their numbers,(AV)
and they will not be decreased;
I will bring them honor,(AW)
and they will not be disdained.
20 Their children(AX) will be as in days of old,
and their community will be established(AY) before me;
I will punish(AZ) all who oppress them.
21 Their leader(BA) will be one of their own;
their ruler will arise from among them.(BB)
I will bring him near(BC) 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,(BD)
and I will be your God.(BE)’”
