30 Hoc verbum quod factum est ad Jeremiam a Domino, dicens:

Haec dicit Dominus Deus Israel, dicens: Scribe tibi omnia verba quae locutus sum ad te, in libro.

Ecce enim dies veniunt, dicit Dominus, et convertam conversionem populi mei Israel et Juda, ait Dominus: et convertam eos ad terram quam dedi patribus eorum, et possidebunt eam.

Et haec verba quae locutus est Dominus ad Israel et ad Judam:

Quoniam haec dicit Dominus: Vocem terroris audivimus: formido, et non est pax.

Interrogate, et videte si generat masculus: quare ergo vidi omnis viri manum super lumbum suum, quasi parturientis, et conversae sunt universae facies in auruginem?

Vae! quia magna dies illa, nec est similis ejus: tempusque tribulationis est Jacob, et ex ipso salvabitur.

Et erit in die illa, ait Dominus exercituum: conteram jugum ejus de collo tuo, et vincula ejus dirumpam, et non dominabuntur ei amplius alieni:

sed servient Domino Deo suo, et David regi suo, quem suscitabo eis.

10 Tu ergo ne timeas, serve meus Jacob, ait Dominus, neque paveas, Israel: quia ecce ego salvabo te de terra longinqua, et semen tuum de terra captivitatis eorum: et revertetur Jacob, et quiescet, et cunctis affluet bonis, et non erit quem formidet:

11 quoniam tecum ego sum, ait Dominus, ut salvem te. Faciam enim consummationem in cunctis gentibus in quibus dispersi te: te autem non faciam in consummationem: sed castigabo te in judicio, ut non videaris tibi innoxius.

12 Quia haec dicit Dominus: Insanabilis fractura tua; pessima plaga tua:

13 non est qui judicet judicium tuum ad alligandum: curationum utilitas non est tibi.

14 Omnes amatores tui obliti sunt tui, teque non quaerent: plaga enim inimici percussi te castigatione crudeli: propter multitudinem iniquitatis tuae dura facta sunt peccata tua.

15 Quid clamas super contritione tua? insanabilis est dolor tuus: propter multitudinem iniquitatis tuae, et propter dura peccata tua, feci haec tibi.

16 Propterea omnes qui comedunt te devorabuntur, et universi hostes tui in captivitatem ducentur: et qui te vastant vastabuntur, cunctosque praedatores tuos dabo in praedam.

17 Obducam enim cicatricem tibi, et a vulneribus tuis sanabo te, dicit Dominus. Quia ejectam vocaverunt te, Sion: haec est, quae non habebat requirentem.

18 Haec dicit Dominus: Ecce ego convertam conversionem tabernaculorum Jacob, et tectis ejus miserebor: et aedificabitur civitas in excelso suo, et templum juxta ordinem suum fundabitur:

19 et egredietur de eis laus, voxque ludentium. Et multiplicabo eos, et non minuentur: et glorificabo eos, et non attenuabuntur.

20 Et erunt filii ejus sicut a principio, et coetus ejus coram me permanebit, et visitabo adversum omnes qui tribulant eum.

21 Et erit dux ejus ex eo, et princeps de medio ejus producetur: et applicabo eum, et accedet ad me. Quis enim iste est qui applicet cor suum ut appropinquet mihi? ait Dominus:

22 et eritis mihi in populum, et ego ero vobis in Deum.

23 Ecce turbo Domini, furor egrediens, procella ruens: in capite impiorum conquiescet.

24 Non avertet iram indignationis Dominus, donec faciat et compleat cogitationem cordis sui: in novissimo dierum intelligetis ea.

Restoration of Israel

30 This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord: “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: ‘Write(A) in a book all the words I have spoken to you. 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.”

These are the words the Lord spoke concerning Israel and Judah: “This is what the Lord says:

“‘Cries of fear(E) are heard—
    terror, not peace.
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)
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.

“‘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)
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)’”

23 See, the storm(BF) of the Lord
    will burst out in wrath,
a driving wind swirling down
    on the heads of the wicked.
24 The fierce anger(BG) of the Lord will not turn back(BH)
    until he fully accomplishes
    the purposes of his heart.
In days to come
    you will understand(BI) this.
