主示耶利米被掳之民必返故土

30 耶和华的话临到耶利米说: “耶和华以色列的神如此说:你将我对你说过的一切话都写在书上。 耶和华说:日子将到,我要使我的百姓以色列犹大被掳的人归回。我也要使他们回到我所赐给他们列祖之地,他们就得这地为业。这是耶和华说的。”

遭祸之后必获拯救

以下是耶和华论到以色列犹大所说的话。 耶和华如此说:“我们听见声音,是战抖惧怕而不平安的声音。 你们且访问看看,男人有产难吗?我怎么看见人人用手掐腰,像产难的妇人,脸面都变青了呢? 哀哉!那日为大,无日可比。这是雅各遭难的时候,但他必被救出来。” 万军之耶和华说:“到那日,我必从你颈项上折断仇敌的轭,扭开他的绳索,外邦人不得再使你做他们的奴仆。 你们却要侍奉耶和华你们的神,和我为你们所要兴起的王大卫。”

慰藉雅各

10 故此,耶和华说:“我的仆人雅各啊,不要惧怕!以色列啊,不要惊惶!因我要从远方拯救你,从被掳到之地拯救你的后裔,雅各必回来得享平靖安逸,无人使他害怕。 11 因我与你同在,要拯救你。也要将所赶散你到的那些国灭绝净尽,却不将你灭绝净尽。倒要从宽惩治你,万不能不罚你[a]。”这是耶和华说的。

12 耶和华如此说:“你的损伤无法医治,你的伤痕极其重大。 13 无人为你分诉,使你的伤痕得以缠裹,你没有医治的良药。 14 你所亲爱的都忘记你,不来探问[b]你。我因你的罪孽甚大、罪恶众多,曾用仇敌加的伤害伤害你,用残忍者的惩治惩治你。 15 你为何因损伤哀号呢?你的痛苦无法医治。我因你的罪孽甚大,罪恶众多,曾将这些加在你身上。 16 故此,凡吞吃你的必被吞吃,你的敌人个个都被掳去,掳掠你的必成为掳物,抢夺你的必成为掠物。” 17 耶和华说:“我必使你痊愈,医好你的伤痕,都因人称你为被赶散的,说‘这是锡安,无人来探问[c]的’。”

返故土者必将欢乐称谢

18 耶和华如此说:“我必使雅各被掳去的帐篷归回,也必顾惜他的住处,城必建造在原旧的山冈,宫殿也照旧有人居住。 19 必有感谢和欢乐的声音从其中发出。我要使他们增多,不致减少;使他们尊荣,不致卑微。

虐主民者必受重罚

20 “他们的儿女要如往日,他们的会众坚立在我面前,凡欺压他们的,我必刑罚他。 21 他们的君王必是属乎他们的,掌权的必从他们中间而出。我要使他就近我,他也要亲近我,不然谁有胆量亲近我呢?”这是耶和华说的。 22 “你们要做我的子民,我要做你们的神。”

23 看哪,耶和华的愤怒好像暴风,已经发出,是扫灭的暴风,必转到恶人的头上。 24 耶和华的烈怒必不转消,直到他心中所拟定的成就了,末后的日子你们要明白。

Israel and Judah Restored

30 The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying: Thus says the Lord God of Israel: Write all the words that I have spoken to you in a book. For surely the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will restore the fortunes of My people Israel and Judah. The Lord says, I also will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it.

These are the words that the Lord spoke concerning Israel and Judah. For thus says the Lord:

I have heard a sound of trembling,
    of fear, and not of peace.
Ask now, and see,
    can a male labor with child?
Why do I see every man
    with his hands on his loins, as a woman in labor,
    and all faces turned pale?
Alas! for that day is great,
    so that no one 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, says the Lord of Hosts,
    that I shall break his yoke from off their neck
and tear away their bonds,
    and strangers shall no longer make them their slaves.
But they shall serve the Lord their God
    and David their king,
    whom I will raise up for them.

10 Therefore do not fear, O My servant Jacob,
    says the Lord,
    nor be dismayed, O Israel;
for I will save you from afar,
    and your seed from the land of their captivity.
And Jacob shall return and shall be in rest and be quiet,
    and no one shall make him afraid.
11 For I am with you, says the Lord,
    to save you.
Although I make a full end of all nations
    wherever I have scattered you,
    yet I will not make a full end of you.
But I will correct you in measure
    and will not leave you altogether unpunished.

12 For thus says the Lord:

Your bruise is incurable
    and your wound is severe.
13 There is no one to plead your cause
    that you may be bound up.
    You have no healing medicines.
14 All your lovers have forgotten you;
    they do not seek you;
for I have wounded you with the wound of an enemy,
    with the chastisement of a cruel one,
because of the multitude of your iniquities, because your sins are numerous.
15 Why do you cry because of your affliction?
    Your sorrow is incurable.
Because of the multitude of your iniquities, because your sins are numerous,
    I have done these things to you.

16 Therefore all who devour you will be devoured;
    and all your adversaries, every one of them, will go into captivity.
And those who plunder you will become plunder,
    and all who prey upon you I will give for prey.
17 For I will restore health to you,
    and I will heal you of your wounds,
    says the Lord,
because they called you an outcast, saying,
    “This is Zion whom no man cares for.”

18 Thus says the Lord:

I will restore the fortunes of Jacob’s tents
    and have mercy on his dwelling places;
and the city will be built upon her own heap,
    and the palace will remain on its rightful place.
19 Out of them will proceed thanksgiving
    and the voice of those who make merry;
and I will multiply them,
    and they will not be few.
I will also glorify them,
    and they will not be small.
20 Their children also will be as before,
    and their congregation will be established before Me;
    and I will punish all who oppress them.
21 Their leader shall be one of them,
    and their ruler shall proceed from their midst;
and I will cause him to draw near and he will approach Me;
    for who is this that dares
    to approach Me?
    says the Lord.
22 You shall be My people,
    and I will be your God.

23 Look, the whirlwind of the Lord
    goes forth with fury,
a continuing whirlwind;
    it will fall with pain upon the head of the wicked.
24 The fierce anger of the Lord shall not return
    until He has done it
    and until He has performed the intentions of His heart.
In the latter days
    you will understand 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

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.
