Jeremiah 30:1-9 ▼

1 This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD.

2 This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: “Write down on a scroll all the words that I have spoken to you,

3 for the days are certainly coming|—this is the LORD’s declaration—|when I will restore the fortunes of My people Israel and Judah|—the LORD’s declaration. “I will restore them to the land I gave to their ancestors and they will possess it.”

4 These are the words the LORD spoke to Israel and Judah.

5 Yes, this is what the LORD says: We have heard a cry of terror, of dread—there is no peace.

6 Ask 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?

7 How awful that day will be! There will be none like it! It will be a time of trouble for Jacob, but he will be delivered out of it.

8 “On that day|—this is the declaration of the LORD of Hosts—|I will break his yoke from your neck and tear off your chains so strangers will never again enslave him.

9 They will serve the LORD their God and I will raise up David their king for them.”
