Jeremiah 30 :: New American Standard Bible 1995 (NASB95)

Deliverance from Captivity Promised

Jer 30:1The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
Jer 30:2“Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, ‘Write all the words which I have spoken to you in a book.
Jer 30:3‘For behold, days are coming,’ declares the LORD, ‘when I will restore the [fn]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.’”
Jer 30:4Now these are the words which the LORD spoke concerning Israel and concerning Judah:
Jer 30:5“For thus says the LORD,
[fn]I have heard a sound of terror,
Of dread, and there is no peace.
Jer 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?
Jer 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.
Jer 30:8‘It shall come about on that day,’ declares the LORD of hosts, ‘that I will break his yoke from off [fn]their neck and will tear off [fn]their bonds; and strangers will no longer make [fn]them their slaves.
Jer 30:9‘But they shall serve the LORD their God and David their king, whom I will raise up for them.
Jer 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 [fn]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.
Jer 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.’
Jer 30:12“For thus says the LORD,
‘Your wound is incurable
And your injury is serious.
Jer 30:13‘There is no one to plead your cause;
No healing for your sore,
No recovery for you.
Jer 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.
Jer 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.
Jer 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.
Jer 30:17‘For I will [fn]restore you to [fn]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 [fn]cares for her.”’

Restoration of Jacob

Jer 30:18“Thus says the LORD,
‘Behold, I will restore the [fn]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.
Jer 30:19‘From them will proceed thanksgiving
And the voice of those who [fn]celebrate;
And I will multiply them and they will not be diminished;
I will also honor them and they will not be insignificant.
Jer 30:20[fn]Their children also will be as formerly,
And [fn]their congregation shall be established before Me;
And I will punish all [fn]their oppressors.
Jer 30:21[fn]Their leader shall be one of them,
And [fn]their ruler shall come forth from [fn]their midst;
And I will bring him near and he shall approach Me;
For [fn]who would dare to risk his life to approach Me?’ declares the LORD.
Jer 30:22‘You shall be My people,
And I will be your God.’”
Jer 30:23Behold, the tempest of the LORD!
Wrath has gone forth,
A [fn]sweeping tempest;
It will burst on the head of the wicked.
Jer 30:24The 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.
