Jeremiah 30

30 A message that came from the Eternal to Jeremiah. 2 “These are the orders of the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Write down in a book every word I have spoken to you, 3 for the day is coming, the Eternal declares, when I will restore the fortunes of my people Israel and Judah, and bring them back to possess the land that I gave to their fathers.”

4 Here are the words spoken by the Eternal with regard to Israel and Judah:

Wre have heard a scream of terror;

all is alarm and unrest.

Ask now and inquire,

if a man is ever with child;

for why do I see every man

pressing his hands on his loins,

and why is every face

turned to a deadly pallor?

Ah, this is an awful Day!

what day is like it?--

an hour of anguish for Jacob;

but he shall come through it.

“For on this Day, says the Lord of hosts,

I will break the yoke from their neck,

and snap their thongs;

they shall serve foreigners no more,

but serve their God, the Eternal,

and their Davidic king,

whom I will raise up for them.

[[Fear not then, my servant Jacob,

O Israel, be not dismayed;

I will bring you safe from afar,

and your race from the land of their exile;

Jacob again shall have quiet and ease,

with none to disturb him.

For I am with you, the Eternal promises,

to succour you;

I will put an end to all the nations,

where I scattered you,

but I will not put an end to you;

I will chastise you, but not too hard,

though I must punish you.]]”

For this is the Eternal’s word:

“Your hurt is beyond healing,

your wound is sore;

there is none to bandage you,

no salve for your bruise;

all your allies have forgotten you,

they care nothing for you;

I wounded you as a foe wounds,

with cruel punishment.

Why wail over your hurt,

that your pain is past all healing?

I did it all to you

for your guilt profound,

for your sins that so abound.

Yet all who devour you shall be devoured,

your foes shall all be exiled,

those who despoil you shall themselves be spoiled,

your plunderers--I will have them plundered.

For I will give you health again,

and heal your wounds, the Eternal promises--

you whom the hunters called an outcast,

‘Our quarry! No one cares for her!’ ”

18 This is the Eternal’s word:

“Jacob’s exiles I will restore,

I will take pity on his homes;

towns shall be built on their own sites,

and buildings stand where once they stood;

from them shall chants of praise resound,

the songs of folk delighted.

I will increase them, and they shall abound,

they shall be honoured and not slighted;

their sons shall thrive as in the days of old,

and I will care for their community,

punishing any who oppress them.

Their prince shall be one of themselves,

their ruler shall be native-born;

I will grant him access to myself,

and he shall enter my presence--

for how else could one dare

to enter my presence?” says the Eternal.

[[Here is the Eternal’s storm of fury,

a sweeping cyclone,

bursting on sinful heads!

Till he has done what he designed,

till he has carried out his mind,

the Eternal calls not back his anger fierce--

as, at the consummation, you shall find.]]
