NASB Bible

Jeremiah 30

Deliverance from Captivity Promised

1

The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,

2

"Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, ` aWrite all the words which I have spoken to you in a book.

3

`For behold,  adays are coming,' declares the LORD, `when I will  brestore the  1fortunes of My people  cIsrael and Judah.' The LORD says, `I will also  dbring them back to the land that I gave to their forefathers and they shall possess it.' "

4

Now these are the words which the LORD spoke concerning Israel and concerning Judah:

5

"For thus says the LORD, ` 1I have heard a sound of  aterror, Of dread, and there is no peace.

6

`Ask now, and see If a male can give birth. Why do I see every man With his hands on his loins,  aas a woman in childbirth? And why have all faces turned pale?

7

`Alas! for that  aday is great, There is  bnone like it; And it is the time of Jacob's  cdistress, But he will be  dsaved from it.

8

`It shall come about on that day,' declares the LORD of hosts, `that I will  abreak his yoke from off  1their neck and will tear off  1their  bbonds; and strangers will no longer  cmake  2them their slaves.

9

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

10

aFear not, O Jacob My servant,' declares the LORD, `And do not be dismayed, O Israel; For behold, I will save you  bfrom afar And your  1offspring from the land of their captivity. And Jacob will return and will be  cquiet and at ease, And  dno one will make him afraid.

11

`For  aI am with you,' declares the LORD, `to save you; For I will  bdestroy completely all the nations where I have scattered you, Only I will  cnot destroy you completely. But I will  dchasten you justly And will by no means leave you unpunished.'

12

"For thus says the LORD, `Your wound is incurable And your  ainjury is serious.

13

`There is no one to plead your cause; No healing for your sore,  aNo recovery for you.

14

`All your  alovers have forgotten you, They do not seek you; For I have  bwounded you with the wound of an enemy, With the  cpunishment of a  dcruel one, Because your  einiquity is great And your  fsins are numerous.

15

`Why do you cry out over your injury? Your pain is incurable. Because your iniquity is great And your sins are numerous, I have done these things to you.

16

`Therefore all who  adevour you will be devoured; And all your adversaries, every one of them,  bwill go into captivity; And those who plunder you will be for plunder, And all who prey upon you I will give for prey.

17

`For I will  1restore you to  2 ahealth And I will heal you of your wounds,' declares the LORD, `Because they have called you an  boutcast, saying: "It is Zion; no one  3cares for her."'

Restoration of Jacob

18

"Thus says the LORD, `Behold, I will  arestore the  1fortunes of the tents of Jacob And  bhave compassion on his dwelling places; And the  ccity will be rebuilt on its ruin, And the  dpalace will stand on its rightful place.

19

`From them will proceed  athanksgiving And the voice of those who  1 bcelebrate; And I will  cmultiply them and they will not be diminished; I will also  dhonor them and they will not be insignificant.

20

1Their children also will be as formerly, And  2their congregation shall be  aestablished before Me; And I will punish all  2their oppressors.

21

1Their  aleader shall be one of them, And  1their ruler shall come forth from  1their midst; And I will  bbring him near and he shall approach Me; For  2who would dare to risk his life to  capproach Me?' declares the LORD.

22

`You shall be  aMy people, And I will be your God.' "

23

Behold, the  atempest of the LORD! Wrath has gone forth, A  1sweeping tempest; It will burst on the head of the wicked.

24

The  afierce anger of the LORD will not turn back Until He has performed and until He has accomplished The intent of His heart; In the  blatter days you will understand this.
