Jeremiah 30

CLV(i) 1 The word that has been unto Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying, 2 `Thus spoke Yahweh, Elohim of Israel, saying, Write for you all the words that I have spoken unto you on a book." 3 For, lo, days are coming--an affirmation of Yahweh--and I have turned back [to] the captivity of My people Israel and Judah, said Yahweh, and I have caused them to turn back unto the land that I gave to their fathers, and they do possess it.'" 4 And these [are] the words that Yahweh has spoken concerning Israel and concerning Judah: 5 Surely thus said Yahweh:A voice of trembling we have heard, Fear--and there is no peace." 6 Ask, I pray you, and see, is a male bringing forth? Wherefore have I seen every man, His hands on his loins, as a travailing woman, And all faces have been turned to paleness? 7 Woe! for great [is] that day, without any like it, Yea, a time of adversity it [is] to Jacob, Yet out of it he is saved." 8 And it has come to pass, in that day, An affirmation of Yahweh of Hosts, I break his yoke from off your neck, And your bands I draw away, And lay no more service on him do strangers." 9 And they have served Yahweh their Elohim, And David their king whom I raise up to them." 10 And you, be not afraid, My servant Jacob, An affirmation of Yahweh, Nor be affrighted, O Israel, For, lo, I am saving you from afar, And your seed from the land of their captivity, And Jacob has turned back and rested, And is quiet, and there is none troubling." 11 For with you [am] I, An affirmation of Yahweh--to save you, For I make an end of all the nations Whither I have scattered you, Only, of you I do not make an end, And I have chastised you in judgment, And do not entirely acquit you." 12 For thus said Yahweh:Incurable is your breach, grievous your stroke, 13 There is none judging your cause to bind up, Healing medicines there are none for you." 14 all loving you have forgotten you, You they do not seek, For with the stroke of an enemy I smote you, The chastisement of a fierce one, Because of the abundance of your iniquity, Mighty have been your sins!" 15 What! --you cry concerning your breach! Incurable [is] your pain, Because of the abundance of your iniquity, Mighty have been your sins! I have done these to you." 16 Therefore all consuming you are consumed, And all your adversaries--all of them--Into captivity do go, And your spoilers have been for a spoil, And all your plunderers I give up to plunder." 17 For I increase health to you, And from your strokes I do heal you, An affirmation of Yahweh, For `Outcast' they have called to you, `Zion it [is], there is none seeking for her.'" 18 Thus said Yahweh:Lo, I turn back [to] the captivity of the tents of Jacob, And his dwelling places I pity, And the city has been built on its heap, And the palace according to its ordinance remains." 19 And gone forth from them has thanksgiving, And the voice of playful ones, And I have multiplied them and they are not few, And made them honorable, and they are not small." 20 And his sons have been as aforetime, And his company before Me is established, And I have seen after all his oppressors." 21 And his honorable one has been of himself, And his ruler from his midst goes forth, And I have caused him to draw near, And he has drawn nigh unto Me, For who [is] he who has pledged his heart To draw nigh unto Me? An affirmation of Yahweh." 22 And you have been to Me for a people, And I am to you for Elohim." 23 Lo, a whirlwind of Yahweh--Fury has gone forth--a cutting whirlwind, On the head of the wicked it stays." 24 The fierceness of the anger of Yahweh Does not turn back till His doing, Yea, till His establishing the devices of His heart, In the latter end of the days we consider it!"
