1This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD:1This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD.
2"This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: 'Write in a book all the words I have spoken to you.2"This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: Write on a scroll all the words that I have spoken to you,
3The days are coming,' declares the LORD, 'when I will bring my people Israel and Judah back from captivity and restore them to the land I gave their ancestors to possess,' says the LORD."3for look, the days are coming"--this is the LORD's declaration--"when I will restore the fortunes of my people Israel and Judah," says the LORD. "I will restore them to the land I gave to their ancestors and they will possess it."
4These are the words the LORD spoke concerning Israel and Judah:4These are the words the LORD spoke to Israel and Judah.
5"This is what the LORD says: "'Cries of fear are heard-- terror, not peace.5This is what the LORD says: We have heard a cry of terror, of dread--there is no peace.
6Ask and see: Can a man bear children? Then why do I see every strong man with his hands on his stomach like a woman in labor, every face turned deathly pale?6Ask and see whether a male can give birth. Why then do I see every man with his hands on his stomach like a woman in labor and every face turned pale?
7How awful that day will be! No other will be like it. It will be a time of trouble for Jacob, but he will be saved out of it.7How awful that day will be! There will be no other like it! It will be a time of trouble for Jacob, but he will be saved out of it.
8"'In that day,' declares the LORD Almighty, 'I will break the yoke off their necks and will tear off their bonds; no longer will foreigners enslave them.8On that day--this is the declaration of the LORD of Armies--I will break his yoke from your neck and tear off your chains, and strangers will never again enslave him.
9Instead, they will serve the LORD their God and David their king, whom I will raise up for them.9They will serve the LORD their God and David their king, whom I will raise up for them.
10"'So do not be afraid, Jacob my servant; do not be dismayed, Israel,' declares the LORD. 'I will surely save you out of a distant place, your descendants from the land of their exile. Jacob will again have peace and security, and no one will make him afraid.10As for you, my servant Jacob, do not be afraid--this is the LORD's declaration--and do not be discouraged, Israel, for without fail I will save you out of a distant place, your descendants, from the land of their captivity! Jacob will return and have calm and quiet with no one to frighten him.
11I am with you and will save you,' declares the LORD. 'Though I completely destroy all the nations among which I scatter you, I will not completely destroy you. I will discipline you but only in due measure; I will not let you go entirely unpunished.'11For I will be with you--this is the LORD's declaration--to save you! I will bring destruction on all the nations where I have scattered you; however, I will not bring destruction on you. I will discipline you justly, and I will by no means leave you unpunished.
12"This is what the LORD says: "'Your wound is incurable, your injury beyond healing.12For this is what the LORD says: Your injury is incurable; your wound most severe.
13There is no one to plead your cause, no remedy for your sore, no healing for you.13You have no defender for your case. There is no remedy for your sores, and no healing for you.
14All your allies have forgotten you; they care nothing for you. I have struck you as an enemy would and punished you as would the cruel, because your guilt is so great and your sins so many.14All your lovers have forgotten you; they no longer look for you, for I have struck you as an enemy would, with the discipline of someone cruel, because of your enormous guilt and your innumerable sins.
15Why do you cry out over your wound, your pain that has no cure? Because of your great guilt and many sins I have done these things to you.15Why do you cry out about your injury? Your pain has no cure! I have done these things to you because of your enormous guilt and your innumerable sins.
16"'But all who devour you will be devoured; all your enemies will go into exile. Those who plunder you will be plundered; all who make spoil of you I will despoil.16Nevertheless, all who devoured you will be devoured, and all your adversaries--all of them--will go off into exile. Those who plunder you will be plundered, and all who raid you will be raided.
17But I will restore you to health and heal your wounds,' declares the LORD, 'because you are called an outcast, Zion for whom no one cares.'17But I will bring you health and will heal you of your wounds--this is the LORD's declaration--for they call you Outcast, Zion whom no one cares about.
18"This is what the LORD says: "'I will restore the fortunes of Jacob's tents and have compassion on his dwellings; the city will be rebuilt on her ruins, and the palace will stand in its proper place.18This is what the LORD says: I will certainly restore the fortunes of Jacob's tents and show compassion on his dwellings. Every city will be rebuilt on its mound; every citadel will stand on its proper site.
19From them will come songs of thanksgiving and the sound of rejoicing. I will add to their numbers, and they will not be decreased; I will bring them honor, and they will not be disdained.19Thanksgiving will come out of them, a sound of rejoicing. I will multiply them, and they will not decrease; I will honor them, and they will not be insignificant.
20Their children will be as in days of old, and their community will be established before me; I will punish all who oppress them.20His children will be as in past days; his congregation will be established in my presence. I will punish all his oppressors.
21Their leader will be one of their own; their ruler will arise from among them. I will bring him near and he will come close to me-- for who is he who will devote himself to be close to me?' declares the LORD.21Jacob's leader will be one of them; his ruler will issue from him. I will invite him to me, and he will approach me, for who would otherwise risk his life to approach me? This is the LORD's declaration.
22"'So you will be my people, and I will be your God.'"22You will be my people, and I will be your God.
23See, the storm of the LORD will burst out in wrath, a driving wind swirling down on the heads of the wicked.23Look, a storm from the LORD! Wrath has gone out, a churning storm. It will whirl about the heads of the wicked.
24The fierce anger of the LORD will not turn back until he fully accomplishes the purposes of his heart. In days to come you will understand this.24The LORD's burning anger will not turn back until he has completely fulfilled the purposes of his heart. In time to come you will understand it.
