预言以色列必归故土

30 耶和华有话临到耶利米,说: “耶和华以色列的 神这样说:‘你要把我对你说过的一切话都写在书上。 看哪!日子快到(这是耶和华的宣告),我必使我的子民以色列和犹大被掳的人归回。’耶和华说:‘我必使他们回到我赐给他们列祖之地,他们要重得这地为业。’”

以下是耶和华论到以色列和犹大所说的话:

“耶和华这样说:

‘我听见了战栗喊叫的声音,

一片恐慌,没有平安。

你们去问问,去看看:

男人会生孩子吗?

为甚么我看见所有的壮汉,

都用手抱着腹部,像正在生产的妇人,

每张脸都变成苍白呢?

哀哉!那日大而可畏,

无可比拟;

这是雅各受苦的时期,

但他必被救出来。’”

“万军之耶和华宣告说:‘当那日,我必从他们(按照《马索拉文本》,“他们”应作“你”;现参照《七十士译本》翻译)的颈项上折断仇敌的轭,扯断他们(按照《马索拉文本》,“他们”应作“你”;现参照《七十士译本》翻译)的绳套;他们必不再作外族人的奴隶。 他们却要事奉耶和华他们的 神,和我为他们兴起的大卫王。

10 所以,我的仆人雅各啊!你不要惧怕。’

这是耶和华的宣告。

‘以色列啊!你不要惊慌。

因为我必拯救你从远方回来,

必拯救你的后裔脱离他们被掳之地。

雅各必归回,得享平静安逸,

没有人可以使他害怕。

11 因为我与你同在,

要拯救你;

我要消灭我赶散你去的列国,

却必不消灭你。

我要按公正惩治你,

决不能免你受罚。’”

这是耶和华的宣告。

12 “耶和华这样说:

‘你的损伤无法痊愈,

你的创伤不能医治。

13 没有人为你申诉,

你的伤处无药可救,

你不得医治。

14 你所有的盟友都忘记了你,

不再关心你;

我击打了你,好象仇敌击打你,

又好象残暴的人惩罚你一样;

都因你的罪孽甚多,

你的罪恶无数。

15 你为甚么因你的损伤哀叫呢?

你的病痛无法痊愈。

我这样对你,

是因你的罪孽甚多,

你的罪恶无数。

16 但是,吞吃你的,必被吞吃;

你所有的敌人全都要被掳走;

抢掠你的,必成为被抢掠之物;

掠夺你的,我必使他们成为被掠夺之物。

17 虽然人都说你是被放逐的,

是没有人关心的锡安;

我却必使你康复,

医治你的创伤。’”

这是耶和华的宣告。

18 “耶和华这样说:

‘看哪!我必复兴雅各的帐棚,

也必怜悯他的居所;

城市必在废墟上重建,

堡垒必立在原来的地点上。

19 必有感谢的歌声,

和欢笑的声音从其中发出来。

我必使他们人数增多,不会减少;

我必使他们得尊荣,不再被人轻看。

20 他们的子孙必像以前一样蒙恩,

他们的国家必在我面前坚立;

我必惩罚所有压迫他们的人。

恶人受罚

21 他们的元首必是他们自己的人,

他们的统治者必出自他们中间;

我必使他近前来,他也必亲近我,

不然,谁敢冒生命的危险来亲近我呢?’

这是耶和华的宣告。

22 ‘你们要作我的子民,

我要作你们的 神。’”

23 看哪!耶和华的旋风,

在震怒中发出,

是横扫的狂风,

必卷到恶人的头上。

24 耶和华的烈怒必不转消,

直到他作成和实现他心中的计划。

在末后的日子,

你们就会明白这事。

30 The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,

Thus speaketh the Lord God of Israel, saying, Write thee all the words that I have spoken unto thee in a book.

For, lo, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will bring again the captivity of my people Israel and Judah, saith the Lord: and I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it.

And these are the words that the Lord spake concerning Israel and concerning Judah.

For thus saith the Lord; We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace.

Ask ye now, and see whether a man doth travail with child? wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness?

Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob's trouble, but he shall be saved out of it.

For it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and will burst thy bonds, and strangers shall no more serve themselves of him:

But they shall serve the Lord their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up unto them.

10 Therefore fear thou not, O my servant Jacob, saith the Lord; neither be dismayed, O Israel: for, lo, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be in rest, and be quiet, and none shall make him afraid.

11 For I am with thee, saith the Lord, to save thee: though I make a full end of all nations whither I have scattered thee, yet I will not make a full end of thee: but I will correct thee in measure, and will not leave thee altogether unpunished.

12 For thus saith the Lord, Thy bruise is incurable, and thy wound is grievous.

13 There is none to plead thy cause, that thou mayest be bound up: thou hast no healing medicines.

14 All thy lovers have forgotten thee; they seek thee not; for I have wounded thee with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel one, for the multitude of thine iniquity; because thy sins were increased.

15 Why criest thou for thine affliction? thy sorrow is incurable for the multitude of thine iniquity: because thy sins were increased, I have done these things unto thee.

16 Therefore all they that devour thee shall be devoured; and all thine adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity; and they that spoil thee shall be a spoil, and all that prey upon thee will I give for a prey.

17 For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the Lord; because they called thee an Outcast, saying, This is Zion, whom no man seeketh after.

18 Thus saith the Lord; Behold, I will bring again the captivity of Jacob's tents, and have mercy on his dwellingplaces; and the city shall be builded upon her own heap, and the palace shall remain after the manner thereof.

19 And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of them that make merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be few; I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small.

20 Their children also shall be as aforetime, and their congregation shall be established before me, and I will punish all that oppress them.

21 And their nobles shall be of themselves, and their governor shall proceed from the midst of them; and I will cause him to draw near, and he shall approach unto me: for who is this that engaged his heart to approach unto me? saith the Lord.

22 And ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.

23 Behold, the whirlwind of the Lord goeth forth with fury, a continuing whirlwind: it shall fall with pain upon the head of the wicked.

24 The fierce anger of the Lord shall not return, until he hath done it, and until he have performed the intents of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it.

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.

  1. Jeremiah 30:3 Or will restore the fortunes of my people Israel and Judah

Restoration for Israel and Judah

30 The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord: “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: (A)Write in a book all the words that I have spoken to you. (B)For behold, days are coming, declares the Lord, (C)when I will restore (D)the fortunes of my people, (E)Israel and Judah, says the Lord, (F)and I will bring them back to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall take possession of it.”

These are the words that the Lord spoke concerning (G)Israel and Judah:

“Thus says the Lord:
We have heard a cry of panic,
    of terror, and no peace.
Ask now, and see,
    can a man bear a child?
(H)Why then do I see every man
    with his hands on his stomach (I)like a woman in labor?
    (J)Why has every face turned pale?
Alas! (K)That day is so great
    (L)there is none like it;
it is a time of distress for Jacob;
    yet he shall be saved out of it.

“And it shall come to pass in that day, declares the Lord of hosts, that I will (M)break his (N)yoke from off your neck, and I will (O)burst your bonds, (P)and foreigners shall no more make a servant of him.[a] But they shall serve the Lord their God and (Q)David their king, whom I will raise up for them.

10 (R)“Then fear not, (S)O Jacob my servant, declares the Lord,
    nor be dismayed, O Israel;
for behold, (T)I will save you from far away,
    (U)and your offspring from the land of their captivity.
(V)Jacob shall return and have quiet and ease,
    and none shall make him afraid.
11 (W)For I am with you to save you,
declares the Lord;
(X)I will make a full end of all the nations
    among whom I scattered you,
    but of you I will not make a full end.
(Y)I will (Z)discipline you in just measure,
    and I will by no means leave you unpunished.

12 “For thus says the Lord:
(AA)Your hurt is incurable,
    (AB)and your wound is grievous.
13 There is none to uphold your cause,
    no medicine for your wound,
    (AC)no healing for you.
14 (AD)All your lovers have forgotten you;
    they care nothing for you;
for I have dealt you the blow of (AE)an enemy,
    the punishment (AF)of a merciless foe,
because your guilt is great,
    (AG)because your sins are flagrant.
15 (AH)Why do you cry out over your hurt?
    (AI)Your pain is incurable.
Because your guilt is great,
    (AJ)because your sins are flagrant,
    I have done these things to you.
16 (AK)Therefore all who devour you shall be devoured,
    and (AL)all your foes, every one of them, shall go into captivity;
(AM)those who plunder you shall be plundered,
    (AN)and all who prey on you I will make a prey.
17 (AO)For I will restore (AP)health to you,
    and (AQ)your wounds I will heal,
declares the Lord,
because (AR)they have called you an outcast:
    (AS)‘It is Zion, for whom no one cares!’

18 “Thus says the Lord:
Behold, (AT)I will restore the fortunes of the tents of Jacob
    and have compassion on his dwellings;
the city shall be rebuilt on (AU)its mound,
    and the palace shall stand where it used to be.
19 (AV)Out of them shall come songs of thanksgiving,
    and the voices of those who celebrate.
(AW)I will multiply them, and they shall not be few;
    I will make them honored, and they shall not be small.
20 (AX)Their children shall be as they were of old,
    and their congregation shall be established before me,
    and I will punish all who oppress them.
21 (AY)Their prince shall be one of themselves;
    (AZ)their ruler shall come out from their midst;
(BA)I will make him draw near, and he shall approach me,
    (BB)for who would dare of himself to approach me?
declares the Lord.
22 (BC)And you shall be my people,
    and I will be your God.”

23 (BD)Behold (BE)the storm of the Lord!
    Wrath has gone forth,
a whirling tempest;
    it will burst upon the head of the wicked.
24 (BF)The fierce anger of the Lord will not turn back
    until he has executed and accomplished
    the intentions of his mind.
(BG)In the latter days you will understand this.
