CHAPTER 30 The Return of Israel

1 The word coming to Jeremiah from the lord, saying, 2 Thus said the lord God of Israel, saying, Write all the words which I executed to you upon a scroll! 3 For behold, days come, says the lord, and I will return the resettlement of my people Israel and Judah, said the lord. And I will return them into the land which I gave to their fathers, and they will dominate it. 4 And these are the words which the lord spoke unto Israel and Judah. 5 Thus said the lord, The sound of fear you shall hear -- fear, and there is no peace. 6 Ask and see if [²gave birth ¹a man]! for I have seen every man, and his hands are upon his loin, as her giving birth; and [²are turned ¹their faces] to jaundice. 7 Woe, for great is that day, and there is not such, and [²a time ³of severity ¹it is] to Jacob, but from this he shall be delivered. 8 In that day, said the lord of the forces, I will break the yoke from their neck, and their bonds I will tear up, and they shall not work themselves any longer for strangers. 9 And they shall work to the lord their God; and [²David ³their king ¹I will raise up] to them. 10 But you, do not fear! O my servant Jacob, says the lord. And in no way should you be terrified, O Israel. For behold, I shall deliver you from a land far off, and your seed from a land of their captivity. And Jacob shall be returned, and he shall rest, and he shall abound in all the good things, and there shall not be one fearing. 11 For [²with ³you ¹I am], says the lord, to deliver you. For I shall appoint a consumation in all the nations in which I scattered you, but you in no way will I appoint for consumation. But I shall correct you with equity and cleansing of which I shall cleanse you. 12 Thus said the lord, I raised up destruction; [²is painful ¹your calamity]; 13 there is not one judging your case; [²for ³a painful state ¹you were treated medically]; [²benefit ³to you ¹there is no]; 14 all your friends forgot you; in no way shall they ask, for [³with a beating ⁴by the enemy ¹I smote ²you], [²discipline ¹even substantial]; [³over ⁴all ⁵your iniquities ²multiplied ¹your sins]. 15 Why yell over your destruction? [²is incurable ¹Your misery]. On account of the magnitude of your iniquity, and on account of [³sins ¹your ²recalcitrant] I did to you these things. 16 On account of this all the ones devouring you shall be eaten, and all your enemies [²into ³captivity ¹shall come]. And [⁴will be ¹the ones ²dispersing ³you] for dispersion, and all the ones having despoiled you I shall give for plunder. 17 For I will lead up your cure, [²from ⁴wound ³a grievous ¹I will treat you]; says the lord, for [²Her Having Been Sown ¹you are called]; Zion, for [³seeking ²no ¹there is] her.

The Resettlement of Jacob

18 Thus said the lord; Behold, I shall return the resettlement of Jacob, and his captivity I will show mercy, and [²shall be built ¹the city] upon her height, and the people [²according to ³his equity ¹shall sit]. 19 And there shall come forth from them ones singing, and a sound of ones playing. And I shall make them superabundant, and in no way shall they be made less. 20 And [²shall enter ¹his sons] as formerly, and their testimonies are in front of me straight up. And I shall visit upon all the ones afflicting them. 21 And [²will be ¹his stronger ones] over them, and his ruler [²from ³him ¹shall come forth]. And I will bring them together, and they shall return to me. For who is this who gave his heart to return to me, says the lord? 22 And you shall be to me for a people, and I shall be to you for Lord. 23 For the anger of the lord went forth; rage went forth; [²anger ¹turning ⁴upon ⁵the impious ³shall come]. 24 In no way shall [⁴turn ¹the anger ²of the rage ³of the lord] until he should execute, and until he should ordain the enterprise of his heart. Upon the last of the days you shall know them.
