Message to the Exiles
29 Now these are the words of the (A)letter which Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem to the rest of the elders of the exile, the priests, the prophets, and all the people whom Nebuchadnezzar had taken into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon. 2 (This was after King (B)Jeconiah and the (C)queen mother, the high officials, the leaders of Judah and Jerusalem, the craftsmen, and the metalworkers had departed from Jerusalem.) 3 The letter was sent by the hand of Elasah the son of Shaphan and Gemariah the son of (D)Hilkiah, whom Zedekiah king of Judah sent to Babylon to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, saying, 4 “This is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, says to all the exiles whom I have (E)sent into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon: 5 ‘(F)Build houses and live in them; and plant gardens and eat their [a]produce. 6 Take (G)wives and father sons and daughters, and take wives for your sons and give your daughters to husbands, so that they may give birth to sons and daughters; and grow in numbers there and do not decrease. 7 (H)Seek the [b]prosperity of the city where I have sent you into exile, and (I)pray to the Lord in its behalf; for [c]in its [d]prosperity will be your [e]prosperity.’ 8 For this is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel says: ‘Do not let your (J)prophets who are in your midst or your diviners (K)deceive you, and do not listen to their interpretations of (L)your dreams which you dream. 9 For they (M)prophesy falsely to you in My name; (N)I have not sent them,’ declares the Lord.
10 “For this is what the Lord says: ‘When (O)seventy years have been completed for Babylon, I will visit you and fulfill My (P)good word to you, to bring you back to this place. 11 For I know the (Q)plans that I [f]have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans for [g](R)prosperity and not for disaster, to give you a future and a (S)hope. 12 Then you will (T)call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will (U)listen to you. 13 And you will (V)seek Me and find Me when you (W)search for Me with all your heart. 14 I will let Myself be (X)found by you,’ declares the Lord, ‘and I will (Y)restore your fortunes and (Z)gather you from all the nations and all the places where I have driven you,’ declares the Lord, ‘and I will (AA)bring you back to the place from where I sent you into exile.’
15 “Because you have said, ‘The Lord has raised up (AB)prophets for us in Babylon’— 16 for this is what the Lord says concerning the king who sits on the throne of David, and concerning all the people who live in this city, your brothers who did (AC)not go with you into exile— 17 this is what the Lord of armies says: ‘Behold, I am sending upon them the (AD)sword, famine, and plague; and I will make them like (AE)rotten figs that cannot be eaten due to rottenness. 18 I will pursue them with the sword, with famine, and with plague; and I will (AF)make them an object of terror to all the kingdoms of the earth, to be a (AG)curse and an object of horror and [h](AH)hissing, and a disgrace among all the nations where I have driven them, 19 because they have (AI)not listened to My words,’ declares the Lord, ‘which I sent to them again and again by (AJ)My servants the prophets; but you did not listen,’ declares the Lord. 20 ‘You, therefore, hear the word of the Lord, all you exiles, whom I have (AK)sent away from Jerusalem to Babylon.
21 ‘This is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel says concerning Ahab the son of Kolaiah and concerning Zedekiah the son of Maaseiah, who are (AL)prophesying to you falsely in My name: “Behold, I am going to hand them over to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he will kill them before your eyes. 22 Because of them a (AM)curse will be [i]used by all the exiles from Judah who are in Babylon, saying, ‘May the Lord make you like Zedekiah and Ahab, whom the king of Babylon (AN)roasted in the fire,’ 23 because they (AO)acted [j]foolishly in Israel, and (AP)committed adultery with their neighbors’ wives, and falsely (AQ)spoke words in My name which I did not command them. I am He who (AR)knows, and a witness,” declares the Lord.’”
24 Now you shall speak to (AS)Shemaiah the Nehelamite, saying, 25 “This is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel says: ‘Because you have sent (AT)letters in your own name to all the people who are in Jerusalem, and to (AU)the priest Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah, and to all the priests, saying, 26 “The Lord has made you priest instead of Jehoiada the priest, to be the [k](AV)overseer of the house of the Lord for every (AW)insane person who (AX)prophesies, to (AY)put him in the stocks and in the iron collar. 27 So now, why have you not rebuked Jeremiah of (AZ)Anathoth who prophesies to you, 28 seeing that he has (BA)sent word to us in Babylon, saying, ‘[l]The exile will be (BB)long; (BC)build houses and live in them, and plant gardens and eat their [m]produce’?”’”
29 Now (BD)Zephaniah the priest read this letter [n]to Jeremiah the prophet. 30 Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying, 31 “Send word to (BE)all the exiles, saying, ‘This is what the Lord says concerning (BF)Shemaiah the Nehelamite: “Because Shemaiah has (BG)prophesied to you, although I did not send him, and he has (BH)made you trust in a lie,” 32 therefore this is what the Lord says: “Behold, I am going to (BI)punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite and his [o]descendants; he will (BJ)not have anyone living among this people, (BK)and he will not see the good that I am going to do for My people,” declares the Lord, “because he has (BL)spoken falsely against the Lord.”’”
Liberation from Captivity Promised
30 The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying, 2 “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel says: ‘(BM)Write all the words which I have spoken to you in a book. 3 For behold, (BN)days are coming,’ declares the Lord, ‘when I will (BO)restore the fortunes of My people (BP)Israel and Judah.’ The Lord says, ‘I will also (BQ)bring them back to the land that I gave to their forefathers, and they shall take possession of it.’”
4 Now these are the words which the Lord spoke concerning Israel and Judah:
5 “For this is what the Lord says:
‘[p]I have heard a sound of (BR)terror,
Of fear, and there is no peace.
6 Ask now, and see
If a male can give birth.
Why do I see every man
With his hands on his waist, (BS)as a woman in childbirth?
And why have all faces turned pale?
7 Woe, for that (BT)day is great,
There is (BU)none like it;
And it is the time of Jacob’s (BV)distress,
Yet he will be (BW)saved from it.
8 ‘It shall come about on that day,’ declares the Lord of armies, ‘that I will (BX)break his yoke from [q]their necks and will tear to pieces [r]their (BY)restraints; and strangers will no longer (BZ)make [s]them their slaves. 9 But they shall serve the Lord their God and (CA)David their king, whom I will raise up for them.
10 And (CB)do not fear, Jacob My servant,’ declares the Lord,
‘And do not be dismayed, Israel;
For behold, I am going to save you (CC)from far away,
And your [t]descendants from the land of their captivity.
And Jacob will return and be (CD)at peace, without anxiety,
And (CE)no one will make him afraid.
11 For (CF)I am with you,’ declares the Lord, ‘to save you;
For I will completely (CG)destroy all the nations where I have scattered you,
Only I will (CH)not destroy you completely.
But I will (CI)discipline you fairly
And will by no means leave you unpunished.’
12 “For this is what the Lord says:
‘Your broken limb is irreparable,
And your (CJ)wound is incurable.
13 There is no one to plead your cause;
No healing for your sore,
(CK)No recovery for you.
14 All your (CL)lovers have forgotten you,
They do not seek you;
For I have (CM)wounded you with the wound of an enemy,
With the (CN)punishment of a (CO)cruel one,
Because your (CP)wrongdoing is great,
And your (CQ)sins are numerous.
15 Why do you cry out over your injury?
Your pain is incurable.
Because your wrongdoing is great
And your sins are numerous,
I have done these things to you.
16 Therefore all who (CR)devour you will be devoured;
And all your adversaries, every one of them, (CS)will go into captivity;
And those who plunder you will become plunder,
And all who plunder you I will turn into plunder.
17 For I will [u]restore you to [v](CT)health
And I will heal you of your wounds,’ declares the Lord,
‘Because they have called you an (CU)outcast, saying:
“It is Zion; no one [w]cares for her.”’
Restoration of Jacob
18 “This is what the Lord says:
‘Behold, I will (CV)restore the fortunes of the tents of Jacob
And (CW)have compassion on his dwellings;
And the (CX)city will be rebuilt on its ruins,
And the (CY)palace will stand on its rightful place.
19 From them will come a (CZ)song of thanksgiving
And the voices of those who [x](DA)celebrate;
And I will (DB)multiply them and they will not decrease;
I will (DC)honor them and they will not be insignificant.
20 [y]Their children also will be as before,
And [z]their congregation will be (DD)established before Me;
And I will punish all [aa]their oppressors.
21 [ab]Their (DE)leader shall be one of them,
And [ac]their ruler will come out from [ad]their midst;
And I will (DF)bring him near and he shall approach Me;
For [ae]who would dare to risk his life to (DG)approach Me?’ declares the Lord.
22 ‘You shall be (DH)My people,
And I will be your God.’”
23 Behold, the (DI)tempest of the Lord!
Wrath has gone forth,
A [af]sweeping tempest;
It will whirl upon the head of the wicked.
24 The (DJ)fierce anger of the Lord will not turn back
Until He has performed and accomplished
The intent of His heart.
In the (DK)latter days you will understand this.
Israel’s Mourning Turned to Joy
31 “At that time,” declares the Lord, “I will be the (DL)God of all the (DM)families of Israel, and they shall be My people.”
2 This is what the Lord says:
“The people who survived the sword
(DN)Found grace in the wilderness—
Israel, when it went to (DO)find its rest.”
3 The Lord appeared to [ag]him [ah]long ago, saying,
“I have (DP)loved you with an everlasting love;
Therefore I have drawn you out with (DQ)kindness.
4 (DR)I will build you again and you will be rebuilt,
Virgin of Israel!
You will [ai]take up your (DS)tambourines again,
And go out to the dances of the (DT)revelers.
5 Again you will (DU)plant vineyards
On the [aj]hills of Samaria;
The planters will plant
And will [ak]enjoy the fruit.
6 For there will be a day when watchmen
On the hills of Ephraim call out,
‘Arise, and (DV)let’s go up to Zion,
To the Lord our God.’”
7 For this is what the Lord says:
“(DW)Sing aloud with joy for Jacob,
And be joyful with the [al](DX)chief of the nations;
Proclaim, give praise, and say,
‘Lord, (DY)save Your people,
The (DZ)remnant of Israel!’
8 Behold, I am (EA)bringing them from the north country,
And I will (EB)gather them from the remote parts of the earth,
Among them those who are (EC)blind and those who (ED)limp,
The pregnant woman and she who is in labor, together;
They will return here as a great assembly.
9 (EE)They will come with weeping,
And by pleading I will bring them;
I will lead them by (EF)streams of waters,
On a straight path on which they will (EG)not stumble;
For I am a (EH)father to Israel,
And Ephraim is (EI)My firstborn.”
10 Hear the word of the Lord, you nations,
And declare it in the (EJ)coastlands far away,
And say, “He who scattered Israel will (EK)gather him,
And He will keep him as a (EL)shepherd keeps his flock.”
11 For the Lord has (EM)ransomed Jacob
And redeemed him from the hand of him who was (EN)stronger than he.
12 “They will (EO)come and shout for joy on the (EP)height of Zion,
And they will be (EQ)radiant over the [am]bounty of the Lord—
Over the (ER)grain, the new wine, the oil,
And over the young of the (ES)flock and the herd.
And their life will be like a (ET)watered garden,
And they will (EU)never languish again.
13 Then the virgin will rejoice in the (EV)dance,
And the young men and the old together;
For I will (EW)turn their mourning into joy
And comfort them, and give them (EX)joy for their sorrow.
14 I will refresh the soul of the priests with [an]abundance,
And My people will be (EY)satisfied with My goodness,” declares the Lord.

New International Version
A Letter to the Exiles
29 This is the text of the letter(A) that the prophet Jeremiah sent from Jerusalem to the surviving elders among the exiles and to the priests, the prophets and all the other people Nebuchadnezzar had carried into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon.(B) 2 (This was after King Jehoiachin[a](C) and the queen mother,(D) the court officials and the leaders of Judah and Jerusalem, the skilled workers and the artisans had gone into exile from Jerusalem.) 3 He entrusted the letter to Elasah son of Shaphan and to Gemariah son of Hilkiah, whom Zedekiah king of Judah sent to King Nebuchadnezzar in Babylon. It said:
4 This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says to all those I carried(E) into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon: 5 “Build(F) houses and settle down; plant gardens and eat what they produce. 6 Marry and have sons and daughters; find wives for your sons and give your daughters in marriage, so that they too may have sons and daughters. Increase in number there; do not decrease.(G) 7 Also, seek(H) the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile. Pray(I) to the Lord for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper.” 8 Yes, this is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: “Do not let the prophets(J) and diviners among you deceive(K) you. Do not listen to the dreams(L) you encourage them to have.(M) 9 They are prophesying lies(N) to you in my name. I have not sent(O) them,” declares the Lord.
10 This is what the Lord says: “When seventy years(P) are completed for Babylon, I will come to you(Q) and fulfill my good promise(R) to bring you back(S) to this place. 11 For I know the plans(T) I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper(U) you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.(V) 12 Then you will call(W) on me and come and pray(X) to me, and I will listen(Y) to you. 13 You will seek(Z) me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.(AA) 14 I will be found by you,” declares the Lord, “and will bring you back(AB) from captivity.[b] I will gather you from all the nations and places where I have banished you,” declares the Lord, “and will bring you back to the place from which I carried you into exile.”(AC)
15 You may say, “The Lord has raised up prophets for us in Babylon,” 16 but this is what the Lord says about the king who sits on David’s throne and all the people who remain in this city, your fellow citizens who did not go with you into exile— 17 yes, this is what the Lord Almighty says: “I will send the sword, famine and plague(AD) against them and I will make them like figs(AE) that are so bad they cannot be eaten. 18 I will pursue them with the sword, famine and plague and will make them abhorrent(AF) to all the kingdoms of the earth, a curse[c](AG) and an object of horror,(AH) of scorn(AI) and reproach, among all the nations where I drive them. 19 For they have not listened to my words,”(AJ) declares the Lord, “words that I sent to them again and again(AK) by my servants the prophets.(AL) And you exiles have not listened either,” declares the Lord.
20 Therefore, hear the word of the Lord, all you exiles whom I have sent(AM) away from Jerusalem to Babylon. 21 This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says about Ahab son of Kolaiah and Zedekiah son of Maaseiah, who are prophesying lies(AN) to you in my name: “I will deliver them into the hands of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he will put them to death before your very eyes. 22 Because of them, all the exiles from Judah who are in Babylon will use this curse: ‘May the Lord treat you like Zedekiah and Ahab, whom the king of Babylon burned(AO) in the fire.’ 23 For they have done outrageous things in Israel; they have committed adultery(AP) with their neighbors’ wives, and in my name they have uttered lies—which I did not authorize. I know(AQ) it and am a witness(AR) to it,” declares the Lord.
Message to Shemaiah
24 Tell Shemaiah the Nehelamite, 25 “This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: You sent letters in your own name to all the people in Jerusalem, to the priest Zephaniah(AS) son of Maaseiah, and to all the other priests. You said to Zephaniah, 26 ‘The Lord has appointed you priest in place of Jehoiada to be in charge of the house of the Lord; you should put any maniac(AT) who acts like a prophet into the stocks(AU) and neck-irons. 27 So why have you not reprimanded Jeremiah from Anathoth, who poses as a prophet among you? 28 He has sent this message(AV) to us in Babylon: It will be a long time.(AW) Therefore build(AX) houses and settle down; plant gardens and eat what they produce.’”
29 Zephaniah(AY) the priest, however, read the letter to Jeremiah the prophet. 30 Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah: 31 “Send this message to all the exiles: ‘This is what the Lord says about Shemaiah(AZ) the Nehelamite: Because Shemaiah has prophesied to you, even though I did not send(BA) him, and has persuaded you to trust in lies, 32 this is what the Lord says: I will surely punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite and his descendants.(BB) He will have no one left among this people, nor will he see the good(BC) things I will do for my people, declares the Lord, because he has preached rebellion(BD) against me.’”
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(BE) in a book all the words I have spoken to you. 3 The days(BF) are coming,’ declares the Lord, ‘when I will bring(BG) my people Israel and Judah back from captivity[d] and restore(BH) 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(BI) 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,(BJ)
every face turned deathly pale?(BK)
7 How awful that day(BL) will be!
No other will be like it.
It will be a time of trouble(BM) for Jacob,
but he will be saved(BN) out of it.
8 “‘In that day,’ declares the Lord Almighty,
‘I will break the yoke(BO) off their necks
and will tear off their bonds;(BP)
no longer will foreigners enslave them.(BQ)
9 Instead, they will serve the Lord their God
and David(BR) their king,(BS)
whom I will raise up for them.
10 “‘So do not be afraid,(BT) Jacob my servant;(BU)
do not be dismayed, Israel,’
declares the Lord.
‘I will surely save(BV) you out of a distant place,
your descendants from the land of their exile.
Jacob will again have peace and security,(BW)
and no one will make him afraid.(BX)
11 I am with you(BY) and will save you,’
declares the Lord.
‘Though I completely destroy all the nations
among which I scatter you,
I will not completely destroy(BZ) you.
I will discipline(CA) you but only in due measure;
I will not let you go entirely unpunished.’(CB)
12 “This is what the Lord says:
“‘Your wound(CC) is incurable,
your injury beyond healing.(CD)
13 There is no one to plead your cause,(CE)
no remedy for your sore,
no healing(CF) for you.
14 All your allies(CG) have forgotten you;
they care nothing for you.
I have struck you as an enemy(CH) would
and punished you as would the cruel,(CI)
because your guilt is so great
and your sins(CJ) so many.
15 Why do you cry out over your wound,
your pain that has no cure?(CK)
Because of your great guilt and many sins
I have done these things to you.(CL)
16 “‘But all who devour(CM) you will be devoured;
all your enemies will go into exile.(CN)
Those who plunder(CO) you will be plundered;
all who make spoil of you I will despoil.
17 But I will restore you to health
and heal(CP) your wounds,’
declares the Lord,
‘because you are called an outcast,(CQ)
Zion for whom no one cares.’(CR)
18 “This is what the Lord says:
“‘I will restore the fortunes(CS) of Jacob’s tents(CT)
and have compassion(CU) on his dwellings;
the city will be rebuilt(CV) on her ruins,
and the palace will stand in its proper place.
19 From them will come songs(CW) of thanksgiving(CX)
and the sound of rejoicing.(CY)
I will add to their numbers,(CZ)
and they will not be decreased;
I will bring them honor,(DA)
and they will not be disdained.
20 Their children(DB) will be as in days of old,
and their community will be established(DC) before me;
I will punish(DD) all who oppress them.
21 Their leader(DE) will be one of their own;
their ruler will arise from among them.(DF)
I will bring him near(DG) 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,(DH)
and I will be your God.(DI)’”
23 See, the storm(DJ) of the Lord
will burst out in wrath,
a driving wind swirling down
on the heads of the wicked.
24 The fierce anger(DK) of the Lord will not turn back(DL)
until he fully accomplishes
the purposes of his heart.
In days to come
you will understand(DM) this.
31 “At that time,” declares the Lord, “I will be the God(DN) of all the families of Israel, and they will be my people.”
2 This is what the Lord says:
“The people who survive the sword
will find favor(DO) in the wilderness;
I will come to give rest(DP) to Israel.”
3 The Lord appeared to us in the past,[e] saying:
“I have loved(DQ) you with an everlasting love;
I have drawn(DR) you with unfailing kindness.
4 I will build you up again,
and you, Virgin(DS) Israel, will be rebuilt.(DT)
Again you will take up your timbrels(DU)
and go out to dance(DV) with the joyful.(DW)
5 Again you will plant(DX) vineyards
on the hills of Samaria;(DY)
the farmers will plant them
and enjoy their fruit.(DZ)
6 There will be a day when watchmen(EA) cry out
on the hills of Ephraim,
‘Come, let us go up to Zion,
to the Lord our God.’”(EB)
7 This is what the Lord says:
“Sing(EC) with joy for Jacob;
shout for the foremost(ED) of the nations.
Make your praises heard, and say,
‘Lord, save(EE) your people,
the remnant(EF) of Israel.’
8 See, I will bring them from the land of the north(EG)
and gather(EH) them from the ends of the earth.
Among them will be the blind(EI) and the lame,(EJ)
expectant mothers and women in labor;
a great throng will return.
9 They will come with weeping;(EK)
they will pray as I bring them back.
I will lead(EL) them beside streams of water(EM)
on a level(EN) path where they will not stumble,
because I am Israel’s father,(EO)
and Ephraim is my firstborn son.
10 “Hear the word of the Lord, you nations;
proclaim it in distant coastlands:(EP)
‘He who scattered(EQ) Israel will gather(ER) them
and will watch over his flock like a shepherd.’(ES)
11 For the Lord will deliver Jacob
and redeem(ET) them from the hand of those stronger(EU) than they.
12 They will come and shout for joy(EV) on the heights(EW) of Zion;
they will rejoice in the bounty(EX) of the Lord—
the grain, the new wine and the olive oil,(EY)
the young of the flocks(EZ) and herds.
They will be like a well-watered garden,(FA)
and they will sorrow(FB) no more.
13 Then young women will dance and be glad,
young men and old as well.
I will turn their mourning(FC) into gladness;
I will give them comfort(FD) and joy(FE) instead of sorrow.
14 I will satisfy(FF) the priests(FG) with abundance,
and my people will be filled with my bounty,(FH)”
declares the Lord.
