Jeremiah 30:18-24

New International Version

¹⁸“This is what the Lord says:

“‘I will restore the fortunes^(A) of Jacob’s tents^(B)
    and have compassion^(C) on his dwellings;
the city will be rebuilt^(D) on her ruins,
    and the palace will stand in its proper place.
¹⁹From them will come songs^(E) of thanksgiving^(F)
    and the sound of rejoicing.^(G)
I will add to their numbers,^(H)
    and they will not be decreased;
I will bring them honor,^(I)
    and they will not be disdained.
²⁰Their children^(J) will be as in days of old,
    and their community will be established^(K) before me;
    I will punish^(L) all who oppress them.
²¹Their leader^(M) will be one of their own;
    their ruler will arise from among them.^(N)
I will bring him near^(O) 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,^(P)
    and I will be your God.^(Q)’”

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

⁸I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things.^(A) And when I had heard and seen them, I fell down to worship at the feet^(B) of the angel who had been showing them to me. ⁹But he said to me, “Don’t do that! I am a fellow servant with you and with your fellow prophets and with all who keep the words of this scroll.^(C) Worship God!”^(D)

¹⁰Then he told me, “Do not seal up^(E) the words of the prophecy of this scroll,^(F) because the time is near.^(G) ¹¹Let the one who does wrong continue to do wrong; let the vile person continue to be vile; let the one who does right continue to do right; and let the holy person continue to be holy.”^(H)

¹⁴“Blessed are those who wash their robes,^(O) that they may have the right to the tree of life^(P) and may go through the gates^(Q) into the city.^(R) ¹⁵Outside^(S) are the dogs,^(T) those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.
