Jeremiah 30
|
|
| 30:1
The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, |
|
| 30:2
Thus speaketh the LORD God of Israel, saying, Write thee all the words
that I have spoken unto thee in a book. |
|
| 30:3
For, lo, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will bring again the
captivity of my people Israel and Judah, saith the LORD: and I will cause
them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall
possess it. |
|
| 30:4
And these are the words that the LORD spake concerning Israel and
concerning Judah. |
|
| 30:5
For thus saith the LORD; We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and
not of peace. |
|
| 30:6
Ask ye now, and see whether a man doth travail with child? wherefore do I
see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail, and all
faces are turned into paleness? |
"Wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins."
There will come a time when all men will have the pains of childbirth.
|
| 30:7
Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time
of Jacob's trouble, but he shall be saved out of it. |
|
| 30:8
For 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 thy bonds, and
strangers shall no more serve themselves of him: |
|
| 30:9
But they shall serve the LORD their God, and David their king, whom I will
raise up unto them. |
|
| 30:10
Therefore fear thou not, O my servant Jacob, saith the LORD; neither be
dismayed, O Israel: for, lo, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from
the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be in rest,
and be quiet, and none shall make him afraid. |
|
| 30:11
For I am with thee, saith the LORD, to save thee: though I make a full end
of all nations whither I have scattered thee, yet I will not make a full end
of thee: but I will correct thee in measure, and will not leave thee
altogether unpunished. |
|
| 30:12
For thus saith the LORD, Thy bruise is incurable, and thy wound is
grievous. |
|
| 30:13
There is none to plead thy cause, that thou mayest be bound up: thou hast
no healing medicines. |
|
| 30:14
All thy lovers have forgotten thee; they seek thee not; for I have wounded
thee with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel one, for
the multitude of thine iniquity; because thy sins were increased. |
|
| 30:15
Why criest thou for thine affliction? thy sorrow is incurable for the
multitude of thine iniquity: because thy sins were increased, I have done
these things unto thee. |
|
| 30:16
Therefore all they that devour thee shall be devoured; and all thine
adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity; and they that spoil
thee shall be a spoil, and all that prey upon thee will I give for a prey. |
|
| 30:17
For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds,
saith the LORD; because they called thee an Outcast, saying, This is Zion,
whom no man seeketh after. |
|
| 30:18
Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will bring again the captivity of Jacob's
tents, and have mercy on his dwellingplaces; and the city shall be builded
upon her own heap, and the palace shall remain after the manner thereof. |
|
| 30:19
And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of them that make
merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be few; I will also
glorify them, and they shall not be small. |
|
| 30:20
Their children also shall be as aforetime, and their congregation shall be
established before me, and I will punish all that oppress them. |
|
| 30:21
And their nobles shall be of themselves, and their governor shall proceed
from the midst of them; and I will cause him to draw near, and he shall
approach unto me: for who is this that engaged his heart to approach unto
me? saith the LORD. |
|
| 30:22
And ye shall be my people, and I will be your God. |
|
| 30:23
Behold, the whirlwind of the LORD goeth forth
with fury, a continuing
whirlwind: it shall fall with pain upon the head of the wicked. |
"Behold, the whirlwind of the Lord goeth forth
with fury."
Does God ever get furious?
|
| 30:24
The fierce anger of the LORD shall not return, until he hath done it, and
until he have performed the intents of his heart: in the latter days ye
shall consider it.
