30:1
This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD:
Thus speaks the Lord God of Israel, saying, Write all the words which I have spoken to thee in a book.
30:2
“This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘Write in a book all the words that I have spoken to you.
For, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will bring back the captivity of my people Israel and Juda, said the Lord: and I will bring them back to the land which I gave to their fathers, and they shall be lords of it.
30:3
For behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will restore from captivity (note: Or restore the fortunes of) My people Israel and Judah, declares the LORD. I will restore them to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they will possess it.’”
And these are the Words which the Lord spoke concerning Israel and Juda:
30:4

Thus said the Lord: Ye shall hear a sound of fear, [there is] fear, and there is not peace.
30:5
Yes, this is what the LORD says: “A cry of panic is heard—a cry of terror, not of peace.
Enquire, and see if a male has born a child? and [ask] concerning the fear, wherein they shall hold their loins, and [look for] safety: for I have seen every man, and his hands are on his loins; [their] faces are turned to paleness.
30:6
Ask now, and see: Can a male 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?
For that day is great, and there is not such [another]; and it is a time of straitness to Jacob; but he shall be saved out of it.
30:7
How awful that day will be! None will be like it! It is the time of Jacob’s distress, but he will be saved out of it.
In that day, said the Lord, I will break the yoke off their neck, and will burst their bonds, and they shall no longer serve strangers:
30:8

Thus saith the Lord; I have brought on [thee] destruction; thy stroke is painful.
30:12
For this is what the LORD says: “Your injury is incurable; your wound is grievous.
There is none to judge thy cause: thou hast been painfully treated for healing, there is no help for thee.
30:13
There is no one to plead your cause, no remedy for your sores, no recovery for you.
All thy friends have forgotten thee; they shall not ask [about thee] at all, for I have smitten thee with the stroke of an enemy, [even] severe correction: thy sins have abounded above all thine iniquity.
30:14
All your lovers have forgotten you; they no longer seek you, for I have struck you as an enemy would, with the discipline of someone cruel, because of your great iniquity and your numerous sins.
Therefore all that devour thee shall be eaten, and all thine enemies shall eat all their [own] flesh. Thy sins have abounded beyond the multitude of thine iniquities, [therefore] they have done these things to thee. And they that spoil thee shall become a spoil, and I will give up to be plundered all that have plundered thee.
30:16
Nevertheless, all who devour you will be devoured, and all your adversaries—every one of them—will go off into exile. Those who plundered you will be plundered, and all who raided you will be raided.
For I will bring about thy healing, I will heal thee of thy grievous wound, saith the Lord; for thou art called Dispersed: she is your prey, for no one seeks after her.
30:17
But I will restore your health and heal your wounds, declares the LORD, because they call you an outcast, Zion, for whom no one cares.”
Thus said the Lord; Behold, I will turn the captivity of Jacob, and will have pity upon his prisoners; and the city shall be built upon her hill, and the people shall settle after their manner.
30:18
This is what the LORD says: “I will restore the fortunes of (note: Or restore from captivity) Jacob’s tents and have compassion on his dwellings. And the city will be rebuilt on her own ruins, and the palace will stand in its rightful place.
And there shall go forth from them singers, [even] the sound of men making merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not at all be diminished.
30:19
Thanksgiving will proceed from them, a sound of celebration. I will multiply them, and they will not be decreased; I will honor them, and they will not be belittled.
And their sons shall go in as before, and their testimonies shall be established before me, and I will visit them that afflict them.
30:20
Their children will be as in days of old, and their congregation will be established before Me; and I will punish all their oppressors.
And their mighty ones shall be over them, and their prince shall proceed of themselves; and I will gather them, and they shall return to me: for who is this that has set his heart to return to me? saith the Lord.
30:21
Their leader will be one of their own, and their ruler will arise from their midst. And I will bring him near, and he will approach Me, for who would dare on his own to approach Me?” declares the LORD.
For the wrathful anger of the Lord has gone forth, [even] a whirlwind of anger has gone forth: it shall come upon the ungodly.
30:23
Behold, the storm of the LORD has gone out with fury, a whirlwind swirling down upon the heads of the wicked.
The fierce anger of the Lord shall not return, until he shall execute [it], and until he shall establish the purpose of his heart: in the latter days ye shall know these things.
30:24
The fierce anger of the LORD will not turn back until He has fully accomplished the purposes of His heart. In the days to come you will understand this.
