jps@Jeremiah:30:1 @ The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying:

jps@Jeremiah:30:2 @ 'Thus speaketh the LORD, the God of Israel, saying: Write thee all the words that I have spoken unto thee in a book.

jps@Jeremiah:30:3 @ For, lo, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will turn 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.'

jps@Jeremiah:30:4 @ And these are the words that the LORD spoke concerning Israel and concerning Judah.

jps@Jeremiah:30:5 @ For thus saith the LORD: We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace.

jps@Jeremiah:30:6 @ 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?

jps@Jeremiah:30:7 @ Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it; and it is a time of trouble unto Jacob, but out of it shall he be saved.

jps@Jeremiah:30:8 @ And 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 bands; and strangers shall no more make him their bondman;

jps@Jeremiah:30:9 @ But they shall serve the LORD their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up unto them.

jps@Jeremiah:30:10 @ Therefore fear thou not, O Jacob My servant, 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 again be quiet and at ease, and none shall make him afraid.

jps@Jeremiah:30:11 @ For I am with thee, saith the LORD, to save thee; for I will make a full end of all the nations whither I have scattered thee, but I will not make a full end of thee; for I will correct thee in measure, and will not utterly destroy thee.

jps@Jeremiah:30:12 @ For thus saith the LORD: Thy hurt is incurable, and thy wound is grievous.

jps@Jeremiah:30:13 @ None deemeth of thy wound that it may be bound up; thou hast no healing medicines.

jps@Jeremiah:30:14 @ 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 greatness of thine iniquity, because thy sins were increased.

jps@Jeremiah:30:15 @ Why criest thou for thy hurt, that thy pain is incurable? For the greatness of thine iniquity, because thy sins were increased, I have done these things unto thee.

jps@Jeremiah:30:16 @ 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.

jps@Jeremiah:30:17 @ For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the LORD; because they have called thee an outcast: 'She is Zion, there is none that careth for her.'

jps@Jeremiah:31:8 @ Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the uttermost parts of the earth, and with them the blind and the lame, the woman with child and her that travaileth with child together; a great company shall they return hither.

jps@Jeremiah:31:9 @ They shall come with weeping, and with supplications will I lead them; I will cause them to walk by rivers of waters, in a straight way wherein they shall not stumble; for I am become a father to Israel, and Ephraim is My first-born.

jps@Jeremiah:31:10 @ Hear the word of the LORD, O ye nations, and declare it in the isles afar off, and say: 'He that scattered Israel doth gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd doth his flock.'

jps@Jeremiah:31:11 @ For the LORD hath ransomed Jacob, and He redeemeth him from the hand of him that is stronger than he.

jps@Jeremiah:31:12 @ And they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, and shall flow unto the goodness of the LORD, to the corn, and to the wine, and to the oil, and to the young of the flock and of the herd; and their soul shall be as a watered garden, and they shall not pine any more at all.

jps@Jeremiah:31:17 @ And there is hope for thy future, saith the LORD; and thy children shall return to their own border.

jps@Jeremiah:31:18 @ I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself: 'Thou hast chastised me, and I was chastised, as a calf untrained; turn thou me, and I shall be turned, for Thou art the LORD my God.

jps@Jeremiah:31:19 @ Surely after that I was turned, I repented, and after that I was instructed, I smote upon my thigh; I was ashamed, yea, even confounded, because I did bear the reproach of my youth.'

jps@Jeremiah:31:20 @ Is Ephraim a darling son unto Me? Is he a child that is dandled? For as often as I speak of him, I do earnestly remember him still; Therefore My heart yearneth for him, I will surely have compassion upon him, saith the LORD.

jps@Jeremiah:31:21 @ Set thee up waymarks, make thee guide-posts; set thy heart toward the high-way, even the way by which thou wentest; Return, O virgin of Israel, return to these thy cities.

jps@Jeremiah:31:29 @ In those days they shall say no more: 'The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge.'

jps@Jeremiah:31:31 @ Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah;

jps@Jeremiah:31:32 @ not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; forasmuch as they broke My covenant, although I was a lord over them, saith the LORD.
