* The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD , saying , * Thus speaks the LORD God of Israel , saying , Write you all the words that I have spoken to you in a book . * For , see , the days come , said the LORD , that I will bring again the captivity of my people Israel and Judah , said the LORD : and I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers , and they shall possess it . * And these are the words that the LORD spoke concerning Israel and concerning Judah . * For thus said the LORD ; We have heard a voice of trembling , of fear , and not of peace . * Ask you now , and see whether a man does travail with child ? why do I see every man with his hands on his loins , as a woman in travail , and all faces are turned into paleness ? * Alas ! for that day is great , so that none is like it : it is even the time of Jacob ' trouble , but he shall be saved out of it . * For it shall come to pass in that day , said the LORD of hosts , that I will break his yoke from off your neck , and will burst your bonds , and strangers shall no more serve themselves of him : * But they shall serve the LORD their God , and David their king , whom I will raise up to them . * Therefore fear you not , O my servant Jacob , said the LORD ; neither be dismayed , O Israel : for , see , I will save you from afar , and your 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 . * For I am with you , said the LORD , to save you : though I make a full end of all nations where I have scattered you , yet I will not make a full end of you : but I will correct you in measure , and will not leave you altogether unpunished . * For thus said the LORD , Your bruise is incurable , and your wound is grievous . * There is none to plead your cause , that you may be bound up : you have no healing medicines . * All your lovers have forgotten you ; they seek you not ; for I have wounded you with the wound of an enemy , with the chastisement of a cruel one , for the multitude of your iniquity ; because your sins were increased . * Why cry you for your affliction ? your sorrow is incurable for the multitude of your iniquity : because your sins were increased , I have done these things to you . * Therefore all they that devour you shall be devoured ; and all your adversaries , every one of them , shall go into captivity ; and they that spoil you shall be a spoil , and all that prey on you will I give for a prey . * For I will restore health to you , and I will heal you of your wounds , said the LORD ; because they called you an Outcast , saying , This is Zion , whom no man seeks after . * Thus said the LORD ; Behold , I will bring again the captivity of Jacob ' tents , and have mercy on his dwelling places ; and the city shall be built on her own heap , and the palace shall remain after the manner thereof . * 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 . * Their children also shall be as aforetime , and their congregation shall be established before me , and I will punish all that oppress them . * And their nobles shall be of themselves , and their governor shall proceed from the middle of them ; and I will cause him to draw near , and he shall approach to me : for who is this that engaged his heart to approach to me ? said the LORD . * And you shall be my people , and I will be your God . * Behold , the whirlwind of the LORD goes forth with fury , a continuing whirlwind : it shall fall with pain on the head of the wicked . * The fierce anger of the LORD shall not return , until he has done it , and until he have performed the intents of his heart : in the latter days you shall consider it .
