Jeremiah 30
King James Version
30 The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,
2 Thus speaketh the Lord God of Israel, saying, Write thee all the words that I have spoken unto thee in a book.
3 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.
4 And these are the words that the Lord spake concerning Israel and concerning Judah.
5 For thus saith the Lord; We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace.
6 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?
7 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.
8 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:
9 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.
Jeremiah 30
Amplified Bible
Freedom from Captivity Promised
30 The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord: 2 “Thus says the Lord God of Israel, ‘Write in a book all the words which I have spoken to you. 3 For behold (hear this), the days are coming,’ says the Lord, ‘when I will restore the fortunes of My people Israel and Judah,’ says the Lord, ‘and I will return them to the land that I gave to their forefathers and they will take possession of it.’”
4 Now these are the words the Lord spoke concerning Israel and Judah:
5 “Thus says the Lord,
‘We have heard a terrified voice
Of panic and dread, and there is no peace.
6
‘Ask now, and see
Whether a man can give birth [to a child].
Why then do I see every man
With his hands on his [a]loins, as a woman in labor?
Why have all faces turned pale?
7
‘Alas! for that day is great,
There is none like it;
It is the time of Jacob’s [unequaled] trouble,
But he will be saved from it.(A)
8 ‘It shall come about on that day,’ says the Lord of hosts, ‘that I will break the yoke off your neck and I will tear off your bonds and force apart your shackles; and strangers will no longer make slaves of the people [of Israel]. 9 But they shall serve the Lord their God and [the descendant of] David their King, whom I will raise up for them.(B)
10
‘Fear not, O Jacob My servant,’ says the Lord,
‘Nor be dismayed or downcast, O Israel;
For behold, I will save you from a distant land [of exile]
And your descendants from the land of their captivity.
Jacob will return and will be quiet and at ease,
And no one will make him afraid.
11
‘For I am with you,’ says the Lord, ‘to save you;
For I will destroy completely all the nations where I have scattered you,
But I will not destroy you completely.
But I will judge and discipline you fairly
And will by no means regard you as guiltless and leave you unpunished.’
12
“For thus says the Lord,
‘Your wound is incurable
And your injury is beyond healing.
13
‘There is no one to plead your cause;
No [device to close and allow the] healing of your wound,
No recovery for you.
14
‘All your lovers (allies) have forgotten you;
They do not seek and long for you.
For I have injured you with the wound of an enemy,
With the punishment of a cruel and merciless foe,
Because your guilt is great
And your sins are glaring and innumerable.
15
‘Why do you cry out over your injury [since it is the natural result of your sin]?
Your pain is incurable (deadly).
Because your guilt is great
And your sins are glaring and innumerable,
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 they 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 your wounds,’ says the Lord,
‘Because they have called you an outcast, saying:
“This is Zion; no one seeks her and no one cares for her.”’
Restoration of Jacob
18
“Thus says the Lord,
‘Behold (hear this), I will restore the fortunes of the tents of Jacob
And have mercy on his dwelling places;
The city will be rebuilt on its [old, mound-like] ruin,
And the palace will stand on its rightful place.
19
‘From them (city, palace) will come [songs of] thanksgiving
And the voices of those who dance and celebrate.
And I will multiply them and they will not be diminished [in number];
I will also honor them and they will not be insignificant.
20
‘Their children too will be as in former times,
And their congregation will be established before Me;
And I will punish all their oppressors.
21
‘Their prince will be one of them,
And their ruler will come forward from among them.
I will bring him near and he shall approach Me,
For who is he who would have the boldness and would dare [on his own initiative] to risk his life to approach Me?’ says the Lord.
22
‘Then you shall be My people,
And I will be your God.’”(C)
23
Behold, the tempest of the Lord!
Wrath has gone forth,
A sweeping and gathering tempest;
It will burst on the head of the wicked.
24
The fierce (righteous) anger of the Lord will not turn back
Until He has fulfilled and until He has accomplished
The intent of His heart (mind);
In the latter days you will understand this.

Jeremías 30
Nueva Biblia de las Américas
Promesa de liberación
30 Palabra que vino a Jeremías de parte del Señor: 2 «Así dice el Señor, Dios de Israel: “Escribe en un libro todas las palabras que te he hablado(A). 3 Porque, vienen días”, declara el Señor, “cuando restauraré el bienestar[a] de Mi pueblo, Israel y Judá”. El Señor dice: “También los haré volver(B) a la tierra(C) que di a sus padres(D) y la poseerán(E)”».
4 Estas son las palabras que el Señor habló acerca de Israel y de Judá: 5 «Porque así dice el Señor:
“He oído voces[b] de terror,
De pánico, y no de paz(F).
6 Pregunten ahora, y vean
Si el varón da a luz.
¿Por qué veo a todos los hombres
Con las manos sobre sus caderas, como mujer de parto(G)?
¿Y por qué se han puesto pálidos todos los rostros?
7 ¡Ay! Porque grande es aquel día(H),
No hay otro semejante a él.
Es tiempo de angustia(I) para Jacob,
Mas de ella será librado(J).
8 ”En aquel día”, declara el Señor de los ejércitos, “quebraré el yugo de su[c] cuello y romperé sus[d] coyundas(K), y extranjeros no lo esclavizarán más(L), 9 sino que servirán al Señor su Dios, y a David su rey, a quien Yo levantaré para ellos(M).
10 (N)Así que tú no temas, Jacob, siervo Mío”, declara el Señor,
“Ni te atemorices, Israel;
Porque te salvaré de lugar remoto,
Y a tu descendencia[e] de la tierra de su cautiverio(O).
Y volverá Jacob, y estará tranquilo(P)
Y seguro, y nadie lo atemorizará(Q).
11 Porque Yo estoy contigo”, declara el Señor, “para salvarte(R);
Pues acabaré con todas las naciones entre las que te he esparcido,
Pero no acabaré contigo(S),
Sino que te castigaré con justicia(T).
De ninguna manera te dejaré sin castigo(U)”.
12 »Porque así dice el Señor:
“Incurable es tu quebranto,
Y grave tu herida(V).
13 No hay quien defienda tu causa;
No hay cura para tu llaga,
No hay mejoría para ti(W).
14 Todos tus amantes te han olvidado(X),
Ya no te buscan;
Porque con herida de enemigo te han herido(Y),
Con castigo de hombre cruel(Z),
Por lo grande de tu iniquidad(AA)
Y lo numeroso de tus pecados(AB).
15 ¿Por qué gritas a causa de tu quebranto?
Tu dolor es incurable.
Por lo grande de tu iniquidad
Y lo numeroso de tus pecados,
Te he hecho esto.
16 Por tanto, todos los que te devoran serán devorados(AC),
Y todos tus adversarios, todos ellos, irán al cautiverio(AD).
Todos los que te saquean serán saqueados,
Y a todos los que te despojan los daré al despojo.
17 Porque Yo te devolveré la salud[f],
Y te sanaré de tus heridas(AE)”, declara el Señor,
“Porque te han llamado la Desechada(AF), diciendo:
‘Esta es Sión, nadie se preocupa por ella[g]’”.
Restauración de Jacob
18 »Así dice el Señor:
“Restauraré el bienestar[h] de las tiendas de Jacob,
Y tendré misericordia(AG) de sus moradas(AH).
La ciudad será reedificada(AI) sobre sus ruinas,
Y el palacio(AJ) se asentará como estaba.
19 Saldrá de ellos el canto de acción de gracias
Y la voz de los que se divierten(AK).
Los multiplicaré(AL) y no disminuirán,
Los honraré(AM) y no serán despreciados.
20 Y serán sus hijos como antes,
Su congregación delante de Mí será confirmada,
Y castigaré a todos sus opresores(AN).
21 Uno de ellos será su guía,
De en medio de ellos[i] saldrá su gobernante(AO).
Lo haré acercarse y él se llegará a Mí(AP);
Porque ¿quién se atrevería a arriesgar su vida[j] para llegarse a Mí(AQ)?” declara el Señor.
22 “Ustedes serán Mi pueblo,
Y Yo seré su Dios(AR)”».
23 La tempestad del Señor
Ha salido con furor;
Una tempestad devastadora[k]
Descargará sobre la cabeza de los malvados(AS).
24 La ardiente ira del Señor(AT) no se aplacará
Hasta que haya hecho y cumplido
Los propósitos de Su corazón.
En los postreros días ustedes entenderán esto(AU).
