chapter 30
1
This
is the word that came to Jeremias from the Lord, saying:
2 Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel, saying: Write
thee all the words that I have spoken to thee, in a book.
3 For behold the days come, saith the Lord, and I will
bring again the captivity of my people Israel and Juda, saith the Lord: and I
will cause them to return to the land which I gave to their fathers, and they
shall possess it.
4 And these are the words that the Lord hath spoken to
Israel and to Juda:
5 For thus saith the Lord: We have heard a voice of
terror : there is fear and no peace.
6 Ask ye, and see if a man bear children ? why then
have I seen every man with his hands on his loins, like a woman in labour, and
all faces are turned yellow?
7 Alas, for that day is great, neither is there the
like to it; and it Is the time of tribulation to Jacob, but he shall be saved
out of it.
8 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord
of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and will burst his
bands: and strangers shall no more rule over him:
9 But they shall serve the Lord their God, and David
their king, whom I will raise up to them.
10 Therefore fear thou not, my servant Jacob, saith the
Lord, neither be dismayed, O Israel: for behold, I will save thee from a
country afar off, and thy seed from the land of their captivity: and Jacob
shall return, and be at rest, and abound with all good things, and there shall
be none whom he may fear:
11 For I am with thee, saith the Lord, to save thee:
for I will utterly consume all the nations, among which I have scattered thee:
but I will not utterly consume thee: but I will chastise thee in judgment, that
thou mayst not seem to thyself innocent.
12 For thus saith the Lord: Thy bruise is incurable,
thy wound is very grievous.
13 There is none to judge thy judgment to bind it up :
thou hast no healing medicines.
14 All thy lovers have forgotten thee, and will not
seek after thee: for I have wounded thee with the wound of an enemy, with a
cruel chastisement: by reason of the multitude of thy iniquities, thy sins are
hardened.
15 Why criest thou for thy affliction? thy sorrow is
incurable: for the multitude of thy iniquity, and for thy hardened sins I have
done these things to thee.
16 Therefore all they that devour thee shall be
devoured: and all thy enemies shall be carried into captivity : and they that
waste thee shall be wasted, and all that prey upon thee will I give for a prey.
17 For I will close up thy scar, and will heal thee of
thy wounds, saith the Lord. Because they have called thee, O Sion, an outcast:
This is she that hath none to seek after her.
18 Thus saith the Lord: Behold I bring back the
captivity of the pavilions of Jacob, and will have pity on his houses, and the
city shall be built in her place, and the temple shall be found according to
the order thereof.
19 And out of them shall come forth praise, and the
voice of them that play: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be made
few : and I will glorify them, and they shall not be lessened.
20 And their children shall be as from the beginning,
and their assembly be permanent before me : and I will against all that afflict
them.
21 And their leader shall be of themselves: and their
prince shall come forth from the midst of them : and I will bring him near, and
he shall come to me: for who is this that setteth his heart to approach to me,
saith the Lord?
22 And you shall be my people: and I will be your God.
23 Behold the whirlwind of the Lord, his fury going
forth, a violent storm, it shall rest upon the head of the wicked.
24 The Lord will not turn away the wrath of his
indignation, till he have executed and performed the thought o his heart: in
the latter days you shall understand these things.
