Jeremiah 30:9-18

New King James Version

¹⁰ ‘Therefore ^(C)do not fear, O My servant Jacob,’ says the Lord,
‘Nor be dismayed, O Israel;
For behold, I will save you from afar,
And your seed ^(D)from the land of their captivity.
Jacob shall return, have rest and be quiet,
And no one shall make him afraid.
¹¹ For I am with ^(E)you,’ says the Lord, ‘to save you;
^(F)Though I make a full end of all nations where I have scattered you,
^(G)Yet I will not make a complete end of you.
But I will correct you ^(H)in justice,
And will not let you go altogether unpunished.’

^(I)‘Your affliction is incurable,
Your wound is severe.
¹³ There is no one to plead your cause,
That you may be bound up;
^(J)You have no healing medicines.
^14 (K)All your lovers have forgotten you;
They do not seek you;
For I have wounded you with the wound ^(L)of an enemy,
With the chastisement ^(M)of a cruel one,
For the multitude of your iniquities,
^(N)Because your sins have increased.
¹⁵ Why ^(O)do you cry about your affliction?
Your sorrow is incurable.
Because of the multitude of your iniquities,
Because your sins have increased,
I have done these things to you.

¹⁶ ‘Therefore all those who devour you ^(P)shall be devoured;
And all your adversaries, every one of them, shall go into ^(Q)captivity;
Those who plunder you shall become ^(R)plunder,
And all who prey upon you I will make a ^(S)prey.
^17 (T)For I will restore health to you
And heal you of your wounds,’ says the Lord,
‘Because they called you an outcast saying:
“This is Zion;
No one seeks her.” ’

‘Behold, I will bring back the captivity of Jacob’s tents,
And ^(U)have mercy on his dwelling places;
The city shall be built upon its own ^[a]mound,
And the palace shall remain according to its own plan.
