Jeremiah 30
Tree of Life Version
Return From Exile
30 The word came to Jeremiah from Adonai, saying: 2 thus says Adonai, the God of Israel: “Write all the words that I have spoken to you in a scroll. 3 For behold, the days are coming,” declares Adonai, “when I will return My people Israel and Judah from exile,” declares Adonai. “I will bring them back to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they will possess it.”
Dread of Jacob’s Trouble
4 Now these are the words that Adonai spoke to Israel and to Judah. 5 For thus says Adonai:
“We heard a sound of trembling,
of dread—there is no shalom.
6 Ask now, and see
whether a man can give birth.
Why do I see every man
with his hands on his loins, like a woman giving birth?
Why have all faces turned pale?
7 Oy! For that day is monumental.
There will be none like it—
a time of trouble for Jacob!
Yet out of it he will be saved.
A Davidic King Brings Healing
8 It will be in that day”
—it is a declaration of Adonai-Tzva’ot—
“that I will break his yoke from off your neck,
and will tear off your bonds.
Foreigners will no longer enslave him.
9 Instead they will serve Adonai their God
and David their king,
whom I will raise up for them.
10 So now, do not fear, Jacob My servant,”
says Adonai, “nor be dismayed, O Israel,
for behold, I will save you from afar,
your seed from the land of their exile.
Jacob will again be quiet and at ease,
and no one will make him afraid.
11 For I am with you,” declares Adonai,
“to save you,
for I will make a full end of all the nations
where I scatter you.
but I will not make a full end of you.
For I will discipline you justly,
but will not leave you unpunished.”
12 For thus says Adonai:
“Your hurt is incurable,
and your wound is severe.
13 No one pleads your cause,
for there is no remedy for your wound,
no healing for you.
14 All your lovers have forgotten you.
They are not looking for you.
For I wounded you as an enemy—
with cruel punishment—
because your iniquity is vast,
your sins innumerable.
15 Why cry about your fracture?
Your pain has no cure.
Because your iniquity is vast,
your sins innumerable,
I did these things to you.
16 Yet all who devour you will be devoured,
and all your foes—all of them—
will go into captivity.
Those plundering you will be plundered,
and all preying on you I give as prey.
17 For I will restore health to you
and will heal you of your wounds.”
It is a declaration of Adonai.
“For they called you an outcast:
‘Zion—no one cares about her.’”
18 Thus says Adonai, “Indeed,
I will return Jacob’s tents from exile,
and have compassion on his dwellings.
The city will be rebuilt on her mound[a].
The citadel will stand in its rightful place.
19 Out of them will come thanksgiving
and the sound of celebration.
I will multiply them,
so they will not decrease.
I will also honor them,
so they will not be insignificant.
20 His children also will be as formerly
—his community set up before Me—
and I will punish all his oppressors.
21 His noble one will be one of His own.
His ruler will come forth from among His own.
I will bring Him near, and He will approach Me.
For who is he who will pledge his heart to approach Me?”
It is a declaration of Adonai.
22 “So you will be My people,
and I will be your God.”
23 Look! A storm of Adonai!
Fury has burst out as a churning storm,
whirling about the head of the wicked.
24 Adonai’s fierce anger will not turn back
until He has done it,
until He fulfills the purposes of His heart.
in the last days you will understand it.
25 “At that time,” declares Adonai,
“I will be God to all families of Israel,
and they will be My people.”

Restoration of Israel
30 This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord: 2 “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: ‘Write(A) in a book all the words I have spoken to you. 3 The days(B) are coming,’ declares the Lord, ‘when I will bring(C) my people Israel and Judah back from captivity[a] and restore(D) them to the land I gave their ancestors to possess,’ says the Lord.”
4 These are the words the Lord spoke concerning Israel and Judah: 5 “This is what the Lord says:
“‘Cries of fear(E) are heard—
terror, not peace.
6 Ask and see:
Can a man bear children?
Then why do I see every strong man
with his hands on his stomach like a woman in labor,(F)
every face turned deathly pale?(G)
7 How awful that day(H) will be!
No other will be like it.
It will be a time of trouble(I) for Jacob,
but he will be saved(J) out of it.
8 “‘In that day,’ declares the Lord Almighty,
‘I will break the yoke(K) off their necks
and will tear off their bonds;(L)
no longer will foreigners enslave them.(M)
9 Instead, they will serve the Lord their God
and David(N) their king,(O)
whom I will raise up for them.
10 “‘So do not be afraid,(P) Jacob my servant;(Q)
do not be dismayed, Israel,’
declares the Lord.
‘I will surely save(R) you out of a distant place,
your descendants from the land of their exile.
Jacob will again have peace and security,(S)
and no one will make him afraid.(T)
11 I am with you(U) and will save you,’
declares the Lord.
‘Though I completely destroy all the nations
among which I scatter you,
I will not completely destroy(V) you.
I will discipline(W) you but only in due measure;
I will not let you go entirely unpunished.’(X)
12 “This is what the Lord says:
“‘Your wound(Y) is incurable,
your injury beyond healing.(Z)
13 There is no one to plead your cause,(AA)
no remedy for your sore,
no healing(AB) for you.
14 All your allies(AC) have forgotten you;
they care nothing for you.
I have struck you as an enemy(AD) would
and punished you as would the cruel,(AE)
because your guilt is so great
and your sins(AF) so many.
15 Why do you cry out over your wound,
your pain that has no cure?(AG)
Because of your great guilt and many sins
I have done these things to you.(AH)
16 “‘But all who devour(AI) you will be devoured;
all your enemies will go into exile.(AJ)
Those who plunder(AK) you will be plundered;
all who make spoil of you I will despoil.
17 But I will restore you to health
and heal(AL) your wounds,’
declares the Lord,
‘because you are called an outcast,(AM)
Zion for whom no one cares.’(AN)
18 “This is what the Lord says:
“‘I will restore the fortunes(AO) of Jacob’s tents(AP)
and have compassion(AQ) on his dwellings;
the city will be rebuilt(AR) on her ruins,
and the palace will stand in its proper place.
19 From them will come songs(AS) of thanksgiving(AT)
and the sound of rejoicing.(AU)
I will add to their numbers,(AV)
and they will not be decreased;
I will bring them honor,(AW)
and they will not be disdained.
20 Their children(AX) will be as in days of old,
and their community will be established(AY) before me;
I will punish(AZ) all who oppress them.
21 Their leader(BA) will be one of their own;
their ruler will arise from among them.(BB)
I will bring him near(BC) and he will come close to me—
for who is he who will devote himself
to be close to me?’
declares the Lord.
22 “‘So you will be my people,(BD)
and I will be your God.(BE)’”
