Jeremiah:30:1-31
Seeker Overlay ON
*
The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD ,
saying ,
*
Thus speaketh the LORD God of Israel ,
saying ,
Write thee all the words that I have spoken unto thee in a book .
*
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 .
*
And these are the words that the LORD spake concerning Israel and concerning Judah .
*
For thus saith the LORD ;
We have heard a voice of trembling ,
of fear ,
and not of peace .
*
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 ?
*
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 .
*
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 :
*
But they shall serve the LORD their God ,
and David their king ,
whom I will raise up unto them .
*
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 .
*
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 will I not make a full end of thee :
but I will correct thee in measure ,
and will not leave thee altogether unpunished .
*
For thus saith the LORD ,
Thy bruise is incurable ,
and thy wound is grievous .
*
There is none to plead thy cause ,
that thou mayest be bound up :
thou hast no healing medicines .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 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 .
*
And ye shall be my people ,
and I will be your God .
*
Behold ,
the whirlwind of the LORD goeth forth with fury ,
a continuing whirlwind :
it shall fall with pain upon the head of the wicked .
*
The fierce anger of the LORD shall not return ,
until he have done it ,
and until he have performed the intents of his heart :
in the latter days ye shall consider it .
