Jeremiah:30:1-31
Seeker Overlay ON
*
The word that came to from Jehovah ,
saying ,
*
So speaks Jehovah ,
God of Israel ,
saying ,
Write for yourself all the words that I have spoken to you in a book .
*
For ,
lo ,
the days come ,
says Jehovah ,
that I will turn the captivity of My people Israel and Judah ,
says Jehovah ;
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 Jehovah spoke concerning Israel and concerning Judah :
*
For so says Jehovah ,
We have heard a sound of trembling ,
of dread ,
and not of peace .
*
Ask now and see whether a man is giving birth ?
Why do I see every man with his hands on his loins ,
like a woman in travail ,
and all faces are turned to paleness ?
*
Alas !
For that day is great ,
for none is like it .
And it is a time of Jacob '
s trouble ,
but he will be saved out of it .
*
For it shall be in that day ,
says Jehovah of Hosts ,
I will break his yoke from your neck ,
and I will burst your bonds .
And strangers will not again enslave him ;
*
but they shall serve Jehovah their God ,
and David their king ,
whom I will raise up to them .
*
And you ,
O My servant Jacob ,
do not fear ,
says Jehovah .
Do not be terrified ,
O Israel .
For ,
lo ,
I will save you from afar ,
and your seed from the land of their captivity .
And Jacob shall return ,
and have quiet ,
and be untroubled ,
and no one will make him afraid .
*
For I am with you ,
says Jehovah ,
to save you .
Though I make a full end among all nations where I have scattered you ,
yet I will not make a full end with you .
But I will correct you justly ,
and I will not leave you unpunished .
*
For so says Jehovah ,
Your break cannot be cured ;
your wound is grievous .
*
There is no one to plead your cause ;
for your ulcer there are no healing medicines for you .
*
All your lovers have forgotten you ;
they do not seek you .
For I have wounded you with the wound of an enemy ,
with the chastisement of a cruel one ,
because of the greatness of your iniquity .
Your sins are many .
*
Why do you cry out over your crushing ?
Your pain is incurable ,
for the greatness of your iniquity ;
your sins are many ,
so I have done these things to you .
*
Therefore ,
all those who devour you shall be devoured .
And all your enemies ,
every one of them ,
shall go into captivity .
And they who rob you shall be given for plunder ;
and all who strip you ,
I will give to be stripped .
*
For I will give health back to you ,
and I will heal you of your wounds ,
says Jehovah ,
because they called you ,
Outcast ;
saying ,
This is Zion ;
no one is seeking for her .
*
So says Jehovah ,
Behold I will turn the captivity of Jacob '
s tents and will have mercy on his dwelling places .
And the city shall be built on her ruin heap ;
and the palace shall remain on its own place .
*
And out of them shall come thanksgiving and the voice of those who are merry .
And I will multiply them ,
and they shall not be few .
I also will honor them ,
and they shall not be small .
*
Also ,
his sons shall be as before ,
and his assembly shall be established before Me ;
and I will punish all who oppress them .
*
And his leader shall be from him ,
and his ruler shall come from among him .
And I will cause him to draw near ,
and he shall approach Me .
For who is he who pledged his heart to come near to Me ,
says Jehovah ?
*
And you shall be My people ,
and I will be your God .
*
Behold ,
the tempest of Jehovah :
fury goes forth ,
a sweeping tempest ;
it shall swirl on the head of the wicked .
*
The fierce anger of Jehovah shall not turn back until He has finished ,
and until He has fulfilled the intentions of His heart .
In latter days you will understand it .
