Jeremiah 30:1-Jeremiah 31:26 - Israel And Judah Will Be Delivered From Their Distress
1 The word which was to Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying, 2 Thus said Jehovah God of Israel, saying, Write for thee all the words which I spake to thee upon the writing. 3 For behold, the days coming, says Jehovah, and I turned back the captivity of my people Israel and Judah, said Jehovah: and I turned them back to the land which I gave to their fathers, and they shall inherit it
4 And these the words which Jehovah spake to Israel and to Judah. 5 For thus said Jehovah; We heard the voice of fear and of terror, and not of peace 6 Ask ye now, and see if a male brought forth? wherefore did I see every man his hands upon his loins as she bringing forth, and all faces were turned to paleness? 7 Alas! for that day is great from none being like it: and this the time of straits to Jacob and he shall be saved from it.
8 And it was in that day, says Jehovah of armies, I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and I will tear away thy bonds, and strangers shall no more serve upon him. 9 And they served Jehovah their God, and David their king whom I will raise up to them.
10 And thou my servant Jacob shall not fear, says Jehovah, and thou Israel shalt not be dismayed: for behold me saving thee from far off, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob turned back and rested, and was quiet, and none making afraid. 11 For I am with thee, says Jehovah, to serve thee: for I will make a completion to all nations where I scattered thee there, but with thee I will not make a completion: and I corrected thee for judgment, and acquitting, I will not let thee go unpunished.
12 For thus said Jehovah, Thy breaking is incurable, and thy blow sickly. 13 None judging thy judgment for binding up: no healing will come up to thee. 14 All loving thee forgat thee; they will not seek thee; for I struck thee the blow of an enemy, the correction of the cruel one, for the multitude of thine iniquity; thy sins were strong. 15 Why wilt thou cry for thy breaking? thy pain is incurable for the multitude of thine iniquity: thy sins were strong, I did these things to thee. 16 For this, all consuming thee shall be consumed; and all thine adversaries, all of them shall go into captivity; and they spoiling thee, were for spoiling, and all plundering thee I will give to plunder. 17 For I will bring up healing to thee, and I will heal thee of thy blows, says Jehovah: for they called to thee an outcast: This is Zion, none seeking for her.
18 Thus said Jehovah, Behold me turning back the captivity of Jacob's tents, and I will compassionate his habitations; and the city was built upon her hill, and the palace sat upon its judgment 19 And thanksgiving shall go forth from them, and the voice of those playing, and I multiplied them, and they shall not be few; and I honored them, and they shall not be small. 20 And their sons were as of old, and their testimony shall be prepared before me, and I reviewed upon all pressing them, 21 And his mighty one was from himself, and his ruler shall go forth from his midst.; and I caused him to draw near, and he came near to me: for who this pledging his heart to approach to me? says Jehovah. 22 And ye were to me for a people, and I will be to you for God.
23 Behold, the storm of Jehovah went forth with wrath, a cutting storm: it shall be hurled upon the head of the wicked. 24 The burning of the anger of Jehovah shall not turn, back till his doing, and till his setting up the thoughts of his heart: in the last of the days ye shall have understanding in it
1 In that time, says Jehovah, I will be for God to all the families of Israel, and they shall be to me for a people.
2 Thus said Jehovah, The people escaped of the sword found grace in the desert; Israel going to cause him to rest 3 Jehovah was seen to me from afar off; and I loved thee an eternal love: for this I drew thee in kindness. 4 I will yet build thee, and thou wert built, O virgin of Israel: thou shalt yet be adorned with the tabret, and thou wentest forth into the dance of those playing. 5 Thou shalt yet plant vines upon the mountains of Shomeron: they planting, planted, and they made common 6 For there is a day they watching upon mount Ephraim called, Arise ye, and we will go up to Zion to Jehovah our God.
7 For thus said Jehovah, Shout gladness to Jacob, and cry aloud to the head of the nations: cause ye to be heard, praise ye and say, O Jehovah save thy people, the remnant of Israel. 8 Behold me bringing them from the land of the north, and I gathered them from the thighs of the earth, with them the blind and the lame, her being Pregnant, and her bringing forth together: a great convocation shall turn back hither. 9 In weeping will they come, and I will lead them in mercies; I will cause them to go to the streams of waters in a straight way; they shall not stumble in it: for I was to Israel for a father, and Ephraim he is my first-born. 10 Hear the word of Jehovah, ye nations, and announce in the islands from far off, and say, He scattering Israel will gather him, and watch him as the shepherd his flock. 11 For Jehovah redeemed Jacob, and ransomed him from the hand of the stronger than he. 12 And they came and shouted in the height of Zion, and they flowed together to the goodness of Jehovah, for the grain and for the new wine, and for the oil, and for the sons of the flock and the herd: and their soul was as a watered garden, and they shall not add to pine away any more. 13 Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, and the young men and old men together: and I turned their mourning to joy, and I comforted them and caused them to rejoice from their sorrow. 14 And I satiated the soul of the priests with fatness and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness, says Jehovah.
15 Thus said Jehovah, A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, weeping of bitterness; Rachel, weeping for her sons, refused to be comforted for her sons, for they are not
16 Thus said Jehovah, Restrain thy voice from weeping, and thine eyes from tears: for there is a reward to thy work, says Jehovah; and they turned back from the land of the enemy. 17 And there is hope to thy latter state, says Jehovah, and thy sons turned back to their bound. 18 Hearing, I heard Ephraim being thrust away: Thou didst correct me, and I shall be corrected as a calf not being taught: turn me back and I shall be turned back, for thou Jehovah my God. 19 For after my being turned back I was comforted; and after my knowing I struck upon the thigh: I was ashamed and also disgraced for I bore the reproach of my youth. 20 Is Ephraim a precious son to me? if a child of delights? for whenever my speaking against him, remembering, I shall remember him yet; for this the bowels were put in motion to me compassionating, I will compassionate him, says Jehovah.
21 Set up to thee thorns, set to thee bitternesses: place thy heart to the highway, the way thou wentest: turn back, O virgin of Israel, turn back to these thy cities. 22 How long wilt thou wander about, O daughter turning away? for Jehovah created a new thing in the earth: A female shall go about a male.
23 Thus said Jehovah of armies, God of Israel: Yet shall they say this word in the land of Judah and in its cities, in my turning back their captivity; Jehovah shall bless thee, thou habitation of justice, thou mountain of holiness 24 And in Judah shall dwell in it, and in all its cities together, husband-men, and they removed with the flock. 25 For I satiated the weary soul, and every soul pining away I filled.
26 Upon this I awoke, and I shall see; and my sleep sweet to me
