Jeremiah 30:1-13 ▼

1 The word that has been to Jeremiah from YHWH, saying,

2 “Thus spoke YHWH, God of Israel, saying, Write for yourself all the words that I have spoken to you on a scroll.

3 For behold, days are coming—a declaration of YHWH—and I have turned back [to] the captivity of My people Israel and Judah, said YHWH, and I have caused them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they possess it.”

4 And these [are] the words that YHWH has spoken concerning Israel and concerning Judah:

5 Surely thus said YHWH: “We have heard a voice of trembling, || Fear—and there is no peace.

6 Now ask and see, is a male bringing forth? Why have I seen every man || [With] his hands on his loins, as a travailing woman, || And all faces have been turned to paleness?

7 Woe! For that day [is] great, without any like it, || Indeed, it [is] the time of Jacob’s tribulation, || Yet he is saved out of it.

8 And it has come to pass in that day, || A declaration of YHWH of Hosts, || I break his yoke from off your neck, || And I draw away your bands, || And strangers lay no more service on him.

9 And they have served their God YHWH, || And David their king whom I raise up to them.

10 And you, do not be afraid, My servant Jacob, || A declaration of YHWH, || Nor be frightened, O Israel, || For behold, 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 I [am] with you,” || A declaration of YHWH, || “To save you, || For I make an end of all the nations || To where I have scattered you, || Only, I do not make an end of you, || And I have disciplined you in judgment, || And do not entirely acquit you.”

12 For thus said YHWH: “Your breach is incurable, your stroke grievous,

13 There is none judging your cause to bind up, || There are no healing medicines for you.
