1THE WORD that came to Jeremiah from the Lord:
2Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Write all the words that I have spoken to you in a book.
3For, note well, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will release from captivity My people Israel and Judah, says the Lord, and I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they will possess it.
4And these are the words the Lord spoke concerning Israel and Judah:
5Thus says the Lord: We have heard a voice of trembling {and} panic--of terror, and not peace.
6Ask now and see whether a man can give birth to a child? Why then do I see every man with his hands on his loins like a woman in labor? Why are all faces turned pale?
7Alas! for that day will be great, so that none will be like it; it will be the time of Jacob's [unequaled] trouble, but he will be saved out of it.
8For it will come to pass in that day, says the Lord of hosts, that I will break [the oppressor's] yoke from your neck, and I will burst your bonds; and strangers will no more make slaves of [the people of Israel].
9But they will serve the Lord their God and David's [descendant] their King, Whom I will raise up for them.
10Therefore fear not, O My servant Jacob, says the Lord, nor be dismayed {or} cast down, O Israel; for behold, I will save you out of a distant land [of exile] and your posterity from the land of their captivity. Jacob will return and will be quiet and at ease, and none will make him afraid {or} cause him to be terrorized {and} to tremble.
11For I am with you, says the Lord, to save you; for I will make a full {and} complete end of all the nations to which I have scattered you, but I will not make a full {and} complete end of you. But I will correct you in measure {and} with judgment and will in no sense hold you guiltless {or} leave you unpunished.
12For thus says the Lord: Your hurt is incurable and your wound is grievous.
13There is none to plead your cause; for [the pressing together of] your wound you have no healing [device], no binding plaster.
14All your lovers (allies) have forgotten you; they neither seek, inquire of, {or} require you. For I have hurt you with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel {and} merciless foe, because of the greatness of your perversity {and} guilt, because your sins are glaring {and} innumerable.
15Why do you cry out because of your hurt [the natural result of your sins]? Your pain is deadly (incurable). Because of the greatness of your perversity {and} guilt, because your sins are glaring {and} innumerable, I have done these things to you.
16Therefore all who devour you will be devoured; and all your adversaries, every one of them, will go into captivity. And they who despoil you will become a spoil, and all who prey upon you will I give for a prey.
17For I will restore health to you, and I will heal your wounds, says the Lord, because they have called you an outcast, saying, This is Zion, whom no one seeks after {and} for whom no one cares!
18Thus says the Lord: Behold, I will release from captivity the tents of Jacob and have mercy on his dwelling places; the city will be rebuilt on its own [old] moundlike site, and the palace will be dwelt in after its former fashion.
19Out of them [city and palace] will come songs of thanksgiving and the voices of those who make merry. And I will multiply them, and they will not be few; I will also glorify them, and they will not be small.
20Their children too shall be as in former times, and their congregation shall be established before Me, and I will punish all who oppress them.
21And their prince will be one of them, and their ruler will come from the midst of them. I will cause him to draw near and he will approach Me, for who is he who would have the boldness {and} would dare [on his own initiative] to approach Me? says the Lord.
22Then you will be My people, and I will be your God.
23Behold, the tempest of the Lord has gone forth with wrath, a sweeping {and} gathering tempest; it shall whirl {and} burst upon the heads of the wicked.
24The fierce anger {and} indignation of the Lord shall not turn back until He has executed {and} accomplished the thoughts {and} intents of His mind {and} heart. In the latter days you shall understand this.
