Jeremiah 30:1-24 CSB

[1] This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD. [2] "This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: Write on a scroll all the words that I have spoken to you, [3] for look, the days are coming"-this is the LORD's declaration-"when I will restore the fortunes of my people Israel and Judah," says the LORD. "I will restore them to the land I gave to their ancestors and they will possess it." [4] These are the words the LORD spoke to Israel and Judah. [5] This is what the LORD says: We have heard a cry of terror, of dread-there is no peace. [6] Ask and see whether a male can give birth. Why then do I see every man with his hands on his stomach like a woman in labor and every face turned pale? [7] How awful that day will be! There will be no other like it! It will be a time of trouble for Jacob, but he will be saved out of it. [8] On that day- this is the declaration of the LORD of Armies- I will break his yoke from your neck and tear off your chains, and strangers will never again enslave him. [9] They will serve the LORD their God and David their king, whom I will raise up for them. [10] As for you, my servant Jacob, do not be afraid- this is the LORD's declaration- and do not be discouraged, Israel, for without fail I will save you out of a distant place, your descendants, from the land of their captivity! Jacob will return and have calm and quiet with no one to frighten him. [11] For I will be with you- this is the LORD's declaration- to save you! I will bring destruction on all the nations where I have scattered you; however, I will not bring destruction on you. I will discipline you justly, and I will by no means leave you unpunished. [12] For this is what the LORD says: Your injury is incurable; your wound most severe. [13] You have no defender for your case. There is no remedy for your sores, and no healing for you. [14] All your lovers have forgotten you; they no longer look for you, for I have struck you as an enemy would, with the discipline of someone cruel, because of your enormous guilt and your innumerable sins. [15] Why do you cry out about your injury? Your pain has no cure! I have done these things to you because of your enormous guilt and your innumerable sins. [16] Nevertheless, all who devoured you will be devoured, and all your adversaries-all of them- will go off into exile. Those who plunder you will be plundered, and all who raid you will be raided. [17] But I will bring you health and will heal you of your wounds- this is the LORD's declaration- for they call you Outcast, Zion whom no one cares about. [18] This is what the LORD says: I will certainly restore the fortunes of Jacob's tents and show compassion on his dwellings. Every city will be rebuilt on its mound; every citadel will stand on its proper site. [19] Thanksgiving will come out of them, a sound of rejoicing. I will multiply them, and they will not decrease; I will honor them, and they will not be insignificant. [20] His children will be as in past days; his congregation will be established in my presence. I will punish all his oppressors. [21] Jacob's leader will be one of them; his ruler will issue from him. I will invite him to me, and he will approach me, for who would otherwise risk his life to approach me? This is the LORD's declaration. [22] You will be my people, and I will be your God. [23] Look, a storm from the LORD! Wrath has gone out, a churning storm. It will whirl about the heads of the wicked. [24] The LORD's burning anger will not turn back until he has completely fulfilled the purposes of his heart. In time to come you will understand it.
