Jeremiah 30:1-9 ▼

1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD:

2 “Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel: Write in a book all the words that I have spoken to you.

3 For behold, days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will restore the fortunes of my people, Israel and Judah, says the LORD, and I will bring them back to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall take possession of it.”

4 These are the words that the LORD spoke concerning Israel and Judah:

5 “Thus says the LORD: We have heard a cry of panic, of terror, and no peace.

6 Ask now, and see, can a man bear a child? Why then do I see every man with his hands on his stomach like a woman in labor? Why has every face turned pale?

7 Alas! That day is so great there is none like it; it is a time of distress for Jacob; yet he shall be saved out of it.

8 “And it shall come to pass in that day, declares the LORD of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off your neck, and I will burst your bonds, and foreigners shall no more make a servant of him.

9 But they shall serve the LORD their God and David their king, whom I will raise up for them.
