\v 1 The word that came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying,
|
|
\v 2 "This is what Yahweh, God of Israel, says, 'Write for yourself in a scroll all the words that I have declared to you in a scroll.
|
|
\v 3 For look, days are coming—this is Yahweh's declaration—when I will restore the fortunes of my people, Israel and Judah. I, Yahweh, have said it. For I will bring them back to the land
|
|
that I gave their ancestors, and they will possess it.'"
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\p
|
|
\v 4 These are the words that Yahweh declared concerning Israel and Judah,
|
|
\v 5 "For Yahweh says this,
|
|
\q 'We have heard a trembling voice of dread and not of peace.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 6 Ask and see if a man bears a child.
|
|
\q Why do I see every young man with his hand on his loins like a woman bearing a child?
|
|
\q Why have all their faces become pale?
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 7 Woe! For that day will be great, with none like it.
|
|
\q It will be a time of anxiety for Jacob, but he will be rescued from it.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 8 For it will be in that day—this is the declaration of Yahweh of hosts—that I will break the yoke off your neck, and I will shatter your chains, so foreigners will no longer enslave you.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 9 But they will worship Yahweh their God and serve David their king, whom I will make king over them.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 10 So you, my servant Jacob, do not fear—this is Yahweh's declaration—and do not be dismayed, Israel.
|
|
\q For see, I am about to bring you back from far away, and your descendants from the land of captivity.
|
|
\q Jacob will return and be at peace; he will be secure, and there will be no more terror.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 11 For I am with you—this is Yahweh's declaration—to save you. Then I will bring a complete end
|
|
\q to all the nations where I have scattered you. But I will certainly not put an end to you,
|
|
\q though I discipline you justly and will certainly not leave you unpunished.'
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 12 For Yahweh says this, 'Your injury is incurable; your wound is infected.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 13 There is no one to plead your case; there is no remedy for your wound to heal you.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 14 All of your lovers have forgotten you. They will not look for you,
|
|
\q for I have wounded you with the wound of an enemy and the discipline of a cruel master
|
|
\q because of your many iniquities and your innumerable sins.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 15 Why do you call for help for your injury? Your pain is incurable.
|
|
\q Because of your many iniquities, your innumerable sins, I have done these things to you.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 16 So everyone who consumes you will be consumed, and all of your adversaries will go into captivity.
|
|
\q For the ones who have plundered you will become plunder, and I will make all of the ones despoiling you a spoil.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 17 For I will bring healing on you; I will heal you of your wounds—this is Yahweh's declaration—
|
|
\q I will do this because they called you: Outcast. No one cares for this Zion.'"
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 18 Yahweh says this, "See, I am about to bring back the fortunes of Jacob's tents and have compassion on his homes.
|
|
\q Then a city will be built on the heap of ruins, and a stronghold will exist again where it used to be.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 19 Then a song of praise and a sound of merriment will go out from them,
|
|
\q for I will increase them and not diminish them; I will honor them so they will not be humbled.
|
|
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 20 Then their people will be like before, and their assembly will be established before me
|
|
\q when I punish all the ones who are now tormenting them.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 21 Their leader will come from among them. He will emerge from their midst
|
|
\q when I draw him near and when he approaches me.
|
|
\q If I do not do this, who would dare come close to me?—this is Yahweh's declaration.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 22 Then you will be my people, and I will be your God.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 23 See, the tempest of Yahweh, his fury, has gone out. It is a continual tempest.
|
|
\q It will whirl on the heads of the wicked people.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 24 Yahweh's wrath will not return until it has carried out and brought into being his heart's intentions.
|
|
\q In the final days, you will understand it."
