Book 13 : NEVIIM - JEREMIAH - Chapter 030
30:001
The word that came to Jeremiah from HaShem, saying
30:002
'Thus speaketh HaShem, the G-d of Israel, saying: Write
thee all the words that I have spoken unto thee in a book
30:003
For, lo, the days come, saith HaShem, that I will turn the
captivity of My people Israel and Judah, saith HaShem; and I will cause them to
return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it.
30:004
And these are the words that HaShem spoke concerning Israel
and concerning Judah
30:005
For thus saith HaShem: We have heard a voice of trembling,
of fear, and not of peace
30:006
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
30:007
Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it; and
it is a time of trouble unto Jacob, but out of it shall he be saved
30:008
And it shall come to pass in that day, saith HaShem of
hosts, that I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and will burst thy bands;
and strangers shall no more make him their bondman
30:009
But they shall serve HaShem their G-d, and David their
king, whom I will raise up unto them
30:010
Therefore fear thou not, O Jacob My servant, saith HaShem;
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 again be quiet and at ease,
and none shall make him afraid
30:011
For I am with thee, saith HaShem, to save thee; for I will
make a full end of all the nations whither I have scattered thee, but I will not
make a full end of thee; for I will correct thee in measure, and will not
utterly destroy thee
30:012
For thus saith HaShem: Thy hurt is incurable, and thy
wound is grievous
30:013
None deemeth of thy wound that it may be bound up; thou
hast no healing medicines
30:014
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 greatness of thine iniquity, because thy sins were increased
30:015
Why criest thou for thy hurt, that thy pain is incurable?
For the greatness of thine iniquity, because thy sins were increased, I have
done these things unto thee
30:016
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
30:017
For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee
of thy wounds, saith HaShem; because they have called thee an outcast: 'She is
Zion, there is none that careth for her.
30:018
Thus saith HaShem: Behold, I will turn the captivity of
Jacob's tents, and have compassion on his dwelling-places; and the city shall be
builded upon her own mound, and the palace shall be inhabited upon its wonted
place
30:019
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
diminished, I will also increase them, and they shall not dwindle away
30:020
Their children also shall be as aforetime, and their
congregation shall be established before Me, and I will punish all that oppress
them
30:021
And their prince shall be of themselves, and their ruler
shall proceed from the midst of them; and I will cause him to draw near, and he
shall approach unto Me; for who is he that hath pledged his heart to approach
unto Me? saith HaShem
30:022
And ye shall be My people, and I will be your G-d
30:023
Behold, a storm of HaShem is gone forth in fury, a
sweeping storm; it shall whirl upon the head of the wicked
30:024
The fierce anger of HaShem shall not return, until He have
executed, and till He have performed the purposes of His heart; in the end of
days ye shall consider it
