Jeremiah

Chapter 30

1 The word came to Jeremiah
from Jehovah/God, saying, 2
Thus speaks Jehovah/God
the 'Elohiym/Godhead of Israel, saying,
Write you all the words that I have spoken unto you in a book.

3 For, lo, the days come, said Jehovah/God,
that I will bring again the captivity
of My people Israel and Judah, said Jehovah/God.

And I will cause them to return to the land
that I gave to their fathers,
and they shall possess it.

4 And these are the words that Jehovah/God
spoke concerning Israel and concerning Judah.

5 For thus said Jehovah/God;
We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace.

6 Ask you now,
and see whether a man does travail/'experience child birth'
with child?

Why do I see every man with his hands on his loins,
as a woman in travail/'child birth',
and all faces are turned into paleness?

7 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.

8 For it shall come to pass in that day,
said Jehovah/God of the armies/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.

9 But they shall serve Jehovah/God
their 'Elohiym/Godhead,
and David their king,
whom I will raise up unto them.

10 Therefore fear you not, O my servant Jacob, said Jehovah/God.

Neither be dismayed, O Israel.

For, lo, 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.

11 For I am with you, said Jehovah/God,
to deliver you.

Though I make a full end of all nations
where I have scattered you,
yet will I not make a full end of you.

But I will correct you in measure,
and will not leave you altogether unpunished.

12 For thus said Jehovah/God,
your bruise is incurable,
and your wound is grievous.

13 There is none to plead your cause,
that you may be bound up.

You have no healing medicines.

14 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.

15 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 unto you.

16 Therefore all those who devour you shall be devoured;
and all your adversaries,
every one of them,
shall go into captivity;
and those who spoil you shall be a spoil,
and all that prey upon you will I give for a prey.

17 For I will restore health unto you,
and I will heal you of your wounds, said Jehovah/God;
because they called you an Outcast, saying,
This is Zion, whom no man seeks after.

18 Thus said Jehovah/God;
Behold, I will bring again the captivity of Jacob's tents,
and have mercy on his dwelling places;
and the city shall be built upon her own heap,
and the palace shall remain after the manner thereof.

19 And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving
and the voice of those who make merry.

And I will multiply them,
and they shall not be few;
I will also glorify them,
and they shall not be small.

20 Their children also shall be as aforetime,
and their congregation shall be established before Me,
and I will punish all that oppress them.

21 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 unto Me.

For who is this that engaged his heart to approach unto Me?
said Jehovah/God.

22 And you shall be My people,
and I will be your 'Elohiym/Godhead.

23 Behold, the whirlwind of Jehovah/God goes forth with fury,
a continuing whirlwind.

It shall fall with pain upon the head of the wicked.

24 The fierce anger of Jehovah/God shall not return,
until He has done it,
and until He has performed the intents of His heart . . .
in the latter days . . .
you shall consider it.
