Yahweh Will Return the Fortunes of His People
30 The word which came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying, 2 “Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, ‘(A)Write all the words which I have spoken to you in a book. 3 For behold, (B)days are coming,’ declares Yahweh, ‘when I will [a](C)return the [b]fortunes of My people (D)Israel and Judah.’ Yahweh says, ‘I will also (E)cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it.’”
4 Now these are the words which Yahweh spoke concerning Israel and concerning Judah:
5 “For thus says Yahweh,
‘We have heard a sound of (F)trembling,
Of dread, and there is no peace.
6 Ask now, and see
If a male can give birth.
Why do I see every man
With his hands on his loins, (G)as a woman in childbirth?
And why have all faces turned pale?
7 Alas! For that (H)day is great,
There is (I)none like it;
And it is the time of Jacob’s (J)distress,
But he will be (K)saved from it.
8 ‘And it will be in that day,’ declares Yahweh of hosts, ‘that I will (L)break his yoke from off your neck and will tear off your (M)bonds; and strangers will no longer (N)make [c]them their slaves. 9 But they shall be a slave to Yahweh their God and (O)David their king, whom I will raise up for them.
10 (P)Fear not, O Jacob My [d]servant,’ declares Yahweh,
‘And do not be dismayed, O Israel;
For behold, I will save you (Q)from afar
And your seed from the land of their captivity.
And Jacob will return and will be (R)quiet and at ease,
And (S)no one will make him tremble.
11 For (T)I am with you,’ declares Yahweh, ‘to save you;
For I will (U)make a complete destruction of all the nations where I have scattered you,
Only I will (V)not make a complete destruction of you.
But I will (W)chasten you justly
And will by no means leave you unpunished.’
12 “For thus says Yahweh,
‘Your injury is incurable,
And your (X)wound is desperately sick.
13 There is no one to plead your cause;
No healing for your sore,
(Y)No recovery for you.
14 All your (Z)lovers have forgotten you;
They do not seek you;
For I have [e](AA)wounded you with the wound of an enemy,
With the (AB)punishment of a (AC)cruel one,
Because your (AD)iniquity is numerous
And your (AE)sins are mighty.
15 Why do you cry out over your injury?
Your pain is incurable.
Because your iniquity is numerous
And your sins are mighty,
I have done these things to you.
16 Therefore all who (AF)devour you will be devoured;
And all your adversaries, every one of them, (AG)will go into captivity;
And those who take you as spoil will be spoil,
And all who plunder you I will give as plunder.
17 For I will [f]restore you to [g](AH)health,
And I will heal you of your wounds,’ declares Yahweh,
‘Because they have called you a (AI)banished one, saying:
“It is Zion; no one is seeking her.”’
18 “Thus says Yahweh,
‘Behold, I will [h](AJ)return the [i]fortunes of the tents of Jacob
And (AK)have compassion on his dwelling places;
And the (AL)city will be rebuilt on its ruin,
And the (AM)palace will sit on its just place.
19 From them will come forth (AN)thanksgiving
And the voice of those who [j](AO)celebrate;
And I will (AP)multiply them, and they will not decrease;
I will also (AQ)honor them, and they will not be insignificant.
20 [k]Their children also will be as formerly,
And [l]their congregation shall be (AR)established before Me;
And I will punish all [m]their oppressors.
21 And [n]their (AS)mighty one shall be one of them,
And [o]their ruler shall come forth from [p]their midst;
And I will (AT)bring Him near, and He shall approach Me;
For who would dare to give his heart as security to (AU)approach Me?’ declares Yahweh.
22 ‘You shall be (AV)My people,
And I will be your God.’”
23 Behold, the (AW)storm of Yahweh!
Wrath has gone forth,
A [q]sweeping storm;
It will burst on the head of the wicked.
24 The (AX)burning anger of Yahweh will not turn back
Until He has done and until He has established
The intent of His heart;
In the (AY)last days you will understand this.

New King James Version
Restoration of Israel and Judah
30 The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying, 2 “Thus speaks the Lord God of Israel, saying: ‘Write in a book for yourself all the words that I have spoken to you. 3 For behold, the days are coming,’ says the Lord, ‘that (A)I will bring back from captivity My people Israel and Judah,’ says the Lord. (B)‘And I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it.’ ”
4 Now these are the words that the Lord spoke concerning Israel and Judah.
5 “For thus says the Lord:
‘We have heard a voice of trembling,
Of [a]fear, and not of peace.
6 Ask now, and see,
Whether a [b]man is ever in [c]labor with child?
So why do I see every man with his hands on his loins
(C)Like a woman in labor,
And all faces turned pale?
7 (D)Alas! For that day is great,
(E)So that none is like it;
And it is the time of Jacob’s trouble,
But he shall be saved out of it.
8 ‘For it shall come to pass in that day,’
Says the Lord of hosts,
‘That I will break his yoke from your neck,
And will burst your bonds;
Foreigners shall no more enslave them.
9 But they shall serve the Lord their God,
And (F)David their king,
Whom I will (G)raise up for them.
10 ‘Therefore (H)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 (I)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 (J)you,’ says the Lord, ‘to save you;
(K)Though I make a full end of all nations where I have scattered you,
(L)Yet I will not make a complete end of you.
But I will correct you (M)in justice,
And will not let you go altogether unpunished.’
12 “For thus says the Lord:
(N)‘Your affliction is incurable,
Your wound is severe.
13 There is no one to plead your cause,
That you may be bound up;
(O)You have no healing medicines.
14 (P)All your lovers have forgotten you;
They do not seek you;
For I have wounded you with the wound (Q)of an enemy,
With the chastisement (R)of a cruel one,
For the multitude of your iniquities,
(S)Because your sins have increased.
15 Why (T)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 (U)shall be devoured;
And all your adversaries, every one of them, shall go into (V)captivity;
Those who plunder you shall become (W)plunder,
And all who prey upon you I will make a (X)prey.
17 (Y)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.” ’
18 “Thus says the Lord:
‘Behold, I will bring back the captivity of Jacob’s tents,
And (Z)have mercy on his dwelling places;
The city shall be built upon its own [d]mound,
And the palace shall remain according to its own plan.
19 Then (AA)out of them shall proceed thanksgiving
And the voice of those who make merry;
(AB)I will multiply them, and they shall not diminish;
I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small.
20 Their children also shall be (AC)as before,
And their congregation shall be established before Me;
And I will punish all who oppress them.
21 Their nobles shall be from among them,
(AD)And their governor shall come from their midst;
Then I will (AE)cause him to draw near,
And he shall approach Me;
For who is this who pledged his heart to approach Me?’ says the Lord.
22 ‘You shall be (AF)My people,
And I will be your God.’ ”
23 Behold, the (AG)whirlwind of the Lord
Goes forth with fury,
A [e]continuing whirlwind;
It will fall violently on the head of the wicked.
24 The fierce anger of the Lord will not return until He has done it,
And until He has performed the intents of His heart.
(AH)In the latter days you will consider it.

Jeremías 30
La Biblia de las Américas
Promesa de liberación
30 Palabra que vino a Jeremías de parte del Señor, diciendo: 2 Así dice el Señor, Dios de Israel: «Escribe en un libro todas las palabras que te he hablado(A). 3 Porque, he aquí, 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 Preguntad ahora, y ved
si da a luz el varón.
¿Por qué veo a todos los hombres
con las manos sobre sus lomos, como mujer de parto(G)
y 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 Y acontecerá en aquel día» —declara el Señor de los ejércitos— «que quebraré el yugo de su[c] cerviz y romperé sus[d] coyundas(K), y extraños 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, siervo mío Jacob» —declara el Señor—
«ni te atemorices, Israel;
porque he aquí, 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;
para una llaga hay cura,
pero 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 desechada(AF), diciendo:
“Esta es Sión, nadie se preocupa por ella[g]”».
18 Así dice el Señor:
«He aquí, restauraré el bienestar[h] de las tiendas de Jacob,
y tendré misericordia(AG) de sus moradas(AH);
será reedificada la ciudad(AI) sobre sus ruinas,
y el palacio(AJ) se asentará como estaba.
19 Saldrá de ellos canto de acción de gracias
y voz de los que se divierten(AK);
los multiplicaré(AL) y no disminuirán,
los honraré(AM) y no serán menospreciados.
20 Y serán sus hijos como antes,
su congregación delante de mí será confirmada,
y castigaré a todos sus opresores(AN).
21 Será su guía uno de ellos,
su gobernante(AO) de en medio de ellos[i] saldrá,
y 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 «Y vosotros seréis mi pueblo,
y yo seré vuestro Dios(AR)».
23 He aquí, la tempestad del Señor
con furor ha salido;
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 entenderéis esto(AU).

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.
