Jer 30:5

Jer 30:5“This is what the LORD says: “ ‘Cries of fear are heard— terror, not peace.

Jer 30:6

Jer 30:6Ask and see: Can a man bear children? Then why do I see every strong man with his hands on his stomach like a woman in labor, every face turned deathly pale?

declares the LORD.

Jer 30:11

Jer 30:11I am with you and will save you,’ declares the LORD. ‘Though I completely destroy all the nations among which I scatter you, I will not completely destroy you. I will discipline you but only in due measure; I will not let you go entirely unpunished.’

Jer 30:12

Jer 30:12“This is what the LORD says: “ ‘Your wound is incurable, your injury beyond healing.

Jer 30:13

Jer 30:13There is no one to plead your cause, no remedy for your sore, no healing for you.

Jer 30:14

Jer 30:14All your allies have forgotten you; they care nothing for you. I have struck you as an enemy would and punished you as would the cruel, because your guilt is so great and your sins so many.

Jer 30:15

Jer 30:15Why do you cry out over your wound, your pain that has no cure? Because of your great guilt and many sins I have done these things to you.

Jer 30:16

Jer 30:16“ ‘But all who devour you will be devoured; all your enemies will go into exile. Those who plunder you will be plundered; all who make spoil of you I will despoil.

Jer 30:17

declares the LORD,

‘because you are called an outcast, Zion for whom no one cares.’

Jer 30:18

Jer 30:19

Jer 30:19From them will come songs of thanksgiving and the sound of rejoicing. I will add to their numbers, and they will not be decreased; I will bring them honor, and they will not be disdained.

declares the LORD.
