Deliverance
from Captivity Promised |
|
|
 |
| Jeremiah 30:1 |
|
The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD,
saying, |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 30:2 |
|
"Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, 'Write
all the words which I have spoken to you in a book. |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 30:3 |
|
'For behold, days are coming,' declares the
LORD, 'when I will restore the fortunes of My people Israel and Judah.' The LORD
says, 'I will also bring them back to the land that I gave to their forefathers
and they shall possess it.'" |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 30:4 |
|
Now these are the words which the LORD spoke
concerning Israel and concerning Judah: |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 30:5 |
|
"For thus says the LORD, 'I have heard a sound
of terror, Of dread, and there is no peace. |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 30:6 |
|
'Ask now, and see If a male can give birth.
Why do I see every man With his hands on his loins, as a woman in childbirth?
And why have all faces turned pale? |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 30:7 |
|
'Alas! for that day is great, There is none
like it; And it is the time of Jacob's distress, But he will be saved from it. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 30:8 |
|
It shall come about on that day,' declares the
LORD of hosts, 'that I will break his yoke from off their neck and will tear off
their bonds; and strangers will no longer make them their slaves. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 30:9 |
|
'But they shall serve the LORD their God and
David their king, whom I will raise up for them. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 30:10 |
|
'Fear not, O Jacob My servant,' declares the
LORD, 'And do not be dismayed, O Israel; For behold, I will save you from afar
And your offspring from the land of their captivity. And Jacob will return and
will be quiet and at ease, And no one will make him afraid. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 30:11 |
|
'For I am with you,' declares the LORD, 'to
save you; For I will destroy completely all the nations where I have scattered
you, Only I will not destroy you completely. But I will chasten you justly And
will by no means leave you unpunished.' |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 30:12 |
|
"For thus says the LORD, 'Your wound is incurable
And your injury is serious. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 30:13 |
|
'There is no one to plead your cause; No healing
for your sore, No recovery for you. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 30:14 |
|
'All your lovers have forgotten you, They do
not seek you; For I have wounded you with the wound of an enemy, With the punishment
of a cruel one, Because your iniquity is great And your sins are numerous. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 30:15 |
|
'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. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 30:16 |
|
'Therefore all who devour you will be devoured;
And all your adversaries, every one of them, will go into captivity; And those
who plunder you will be for plunder, And all who prey upon you I will give for
prey. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 30:17 |
|
'For I will restore you to health And I will
heal you of your wounds,' declares the LORD, 'Because they have called you an
outcast, saying: "It is Zion; no one cares for her."' |
| |
|
|
| |
|
Restoration of Jacob |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 30:18 |
|
"Thus says the LORD, 'Behold, I will restore
the fortunes of the tents of Jacob And have compassion on his dwelling places;
And the city will be rebuilt on its ruin, And the palace will stand on its rightful
place. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 30:19 |
|
'From them will proceed thanksgiving And the
voice of those who celebrate; And I will multiply them and they will not be diminished;
I will also honor them and they will not be insignificant. |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 30:20 |
|
'Their children also will be as formerly, And
their congregation shall be established before Me; And I will punish all their
oppressors. |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 30:21 |
|
'Their leader shall be one of them, And their
ruler shall come forth from their midst; And I will bring him near and he shall
approach Me; For who would dare to risk his life to approach Me?' declares the
LORD. |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 30:22 |
|
'You shall be My people, And I will be your
God.'" |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 30:23 |
|
Behold, the tempest of the LORD! Wrath has gone
forth, A sweeping tempest; It will burst on the head of the wicked. |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 30:24 |
|
The fierce anger of the LORD will not turn back
Until He has performed and until He has accomplished The intent of His heart;
In the latter days you will understand this. |
