Jeremiah 30:10-17
The Message
Jeremiah 30:10-17
The Message
10-11 “‘So fear no more, Jacob, dear servant.
Don’t despair, Israel.
Look up! I’ll save you out of faraway places,
I’ll bring your children back from exile.
Jacob will come back and find life good,
safe and secure.
I’ll be with you. I’ll save you.
I’ll finish off all the godless nations
Among which I’ve scattered you,
but I won’t finish you off.
I’ll punish you, but fairly.
I won’t send you off with just a slap on the wrist.’
12-15 “This is God’s Message:
“‘You’re a burned-out case,
as good as dead.
Everyone has given up on you.
You’re hopeless.
All your fair-weather friends have skipped town
without giving you a second thought.
But I delivered the knockout blow,
a punishment you will never forget,
Because of the enormity of your guilt,
the endless list of your sins.
So why all this self-pity, licking your wounds?
You deserve all this, and more.
Because of the enormity of your guilt,
the endless list of your sins,
I’ve done all this to you.
16-17 “‘Everyone who hurt you will be hurt;
your enemies will end up as slaves.
Your plunderers will be plundered;
your looters will become loot.
As for you, I’ll come with healing,
curing the incurable,
Because they all gave up on you
and dismissed you as hopeless—
that good-for-nothing Zion.’

New International Version
Jeremiah 30:10-17
New International Version
10 “‘So do not be afraid,(A) Jacob my servant;(B)
do not be dismayed, Israel,’
declares the Lord.
‘I will surely save(C) you out of a distant place,
your descendants from the land of their exile.
Jacob will again have peace and security,(D)
and no one will make him afraid.(E)
11 I am with you(F) and will save you,’
declares the Lord.
‘Though I completely destroy all the nations
among which I scatter you,
I will not completely destroy(G) you.
I will discipline(H) you but only in due measure;
I will not let you go entirely unpunished.’(I)
12 “This is what the Lord says:
“‘Your wound(J) is incurable,
your injury beyond healing.(K)
13 There is no one to plead your cause,(L)
no remedy for your sore,
no healing(M) for you.
14 All your allies(N) have forgotten you;
they care nothing for you.
I have struck you as an enemy(O) would
and punished you as would the cruel,(P)
because your guilt is so great
and your sins(Q) so many.
15 Why do you cry out over your wound,
your pain that has no cure?(R)
Because of your great guilt and many sins
I have done these things to you.(S)
16 “‘But all who devour(T) you will be devoured;
all your enemies will go into exile.(U)
Those who plunder(V) you will be plundered;
all who make spoil of you I will despoil.
17 But I will restore you to health
and heal(W) your wounds,’
declares the Lord,
‘because you are called an outcast,(X)
Zion for whom no one cares.’(Y)
