4And these are the words that the LORD spoke concerning Israel and concerning Judah.Select Jeremiah 30:4

5For thus says the LORD; We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace.Select Jeremiah 30:5

7Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble, but he shall be saved out of it.Select Jeremiah 30:7

8For it shall come to pass in that day, says the LORD of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off your neck, and will burst your bonds, and strangers shall no more serve themselves of him:Select Jeremiah 30:8

9But they shall serve the LORD their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up to them. ¶Select Jeremiah 30:9

10Therefore fear you not, O my servant Jacob, says the LORD; neither be dismayed, O Israel: for, see, I will save you from afar, and your seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be in rest, and be quiet, and none shall make him afraid.Select Jeremiah 30:10

11For I am with you, says the LORD, to save you: though I make a full end of all nations where I have scattered you, yet I will not make a full end of you: but I will correct you in measure, and will not leave you altogether unpunished.Select Jeremiah 30:11

12For thus says the LORD, Your bruise is incurable, and your wound is grievous.Select Jeremiah 30:12

13There is none to plead your cause, that you may be bound up: you have no healing medicines.Select Jeremiah 30:13

14All your lovers have forgotten you; they seek you not; for I have wounded you with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel one, for the multitude of your iniquity; because your sins were increased.Select Jeremiah 30:14

15Why cry you for your affliction? your sorrow is incurable for the multitude of your iniquity: because your sins were increased, I have done these things to you.Select Jeremiah 30:15

16Therefore all they that devour you shall be devoured; and all your adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity; and they that spoil you shall be a spoil, and all that prey on you will I give for a prey.Select Jeremiah 30:16

17For I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds, says the LORD; because they called you an Outcast, saying, This is Zion, whom no man seeks after. ¶Select Jeremiah 30:17

20Their children also shall be as aforetime, and their congregation shall be established before me, and I will punish all that oppress them.Select Jeremiah 30:20

21And their nobles shall be of themselves, and their governor shall proceed from the middle of them; and I will cause him to draw near, and he shall approach to me: for who is this that engaged his heart to approach to me? says the LORD.Select Jeremiah 30:21

22And you shall be my people, and I will be your God.Select Jeremiah 30:22
