Jeremiah 30:1-13 ▼

1 The word which was to Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying,

2 Thus said Jehovah God of Israel, saying, Write for thee all the words which I spake to thee upon the writing.

3 For behold, the days coming, says Jehovah, and I turned back the captivity of my people Israel and Judah, said Jehovah: and I turned them back to the land which I gave to their fathers, and they shall inherit it.

4 And these the words which Jehovah spake to Israel and to Judah.

5 For thus said Jehovah; We heard the voice of fear and of terror, and not of peace.

6 Ask ye now, and see if a male brought forth? wherefore did I see every man his hands upon his loins as she bringing forth, and all faces were turned to paleness?

7 Alas! for that day is great from none being like it: and this the time of straits to Jacob and he shall be saved from it.

8 And it was in that day, says Jehovah of armies, I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and I will tear away thy bonds, and strangers shall no more serve upon him.

9 And they served Jehovah their God, and David their king whom I will raise up to them.

10 And thou my servant Jacob shall not fear, says Jehovah, and thou Israel shalt not be dismayed: for behold me saving thee from far off, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob turned back and rested, and was quiet, and none making afraid.

11 For I am with thee, says Jehovah, to serve thee: for I will make a completion to all nations where I scattered thee there, but with thee I will not make a completion: and I corrected thee for judgment, and acquitting, I will not let thee go unpunished.

12 For thus said Jehovah, Thy breaking is incurable, and thy blow sickly.

13 None judging thy judgment for binding up: no healing will come up to thee.
