Jeremiah 30
Christian Standard Bible
Restoration from Captivity
30 This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord. 2 “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: Write on a scroll all the words that I have spoken to you,(A) 3 for look, the days are coming”—this is the Lord’s declaration—“when I will restore the fortunes[a] of my people Israel and Judah,”(B) says the Lord. “I will restore them to the land I gave to their ancestors and they will possess it.”
4 These are the words the Lord spoke to Israel and Judah. 5 This is what the Lord says:
We have heard a cry of terror,
of dread—there is no peace.
6 Ask and see
whether a male can give birth.
Why then do I see every man
with his hands on his stomach like a woman in labor
and every face turned pale?(C)
7 How awful that day will be!(D)
There will be no other like it!(E)
It will be a time of trouble for Jacob,
but he will be saved out of it.
8 On that day—
this is the declaration of the Lord of Armies—
I will break his yoke from your neck(F)
and tear off your chains,(G)
and strangers will never again enslave him.(H)
9 They will serve the Lord their God
and David their king,
whom I will raise up for them.(I)
10 As for you, my servant Jacob,(J)
do not be afraid—
this is the Lord’s declaration—
and do not be discouraged, Israel,
for without fail I will save you out of a distant place,
your descendants, from the land of their captivity!
Jacob will return and have calm and quiet
with no one to frighten him.(K)
11 For I will be with you—
this is the Lord’s declaration—
to save you!(L)
I will bring destruction on all the nations
where I have scattered you;
however, I will not bring destruction on you.
I will discipline you justly,
and I will by no means leave you unpunished.(M)
Healing Zion’s Wounds
12 For this is what the Lord says:
Your injury is incurable;
your wound most severe.(N)
13 You have no defender for your case.(O)
There is no remedy for your sores,
and no healing for you.[b]
14 All your lovers have forgotten you;(P)
they no longer look for you,
for I have struck you as an enemy would,
with the discipline(Q) of someone cruel,(R)
because of your enormous guilt
and your innumerable sins.
15 Why do you cry out about your injury?
Your pain has no cure!
I have done these things to you
because of your enormous guilt
and your innumerable sins.(S)
16 Nevertheless, all who devoured you will be devoured,(T)
and all your adversaries—all of them—
will go off into exile.
Those who plunder you will be plundered,
and all who raid you will be raided.(U)
17 But I will bring you health(V)
and will heal you of your wounds—
this is the Lord’s declaration—
for they call you Outcast,
Zion whom no one cares about.
Restoration of the Land
18 This is what the Lord says:
I will certainly restore the fortunes[c] of Jacob’s tents(W)
and show compassion(X) on his dwellings.
Every city will be rebuilt on its mound;
every citadel will stand on its proper site.
19 Thanksgiving will come out of them,
a sound of rejoicing.
I will multiply them, and they will not decrease;(Y)
I will honor them, and they will not be insignificant.
20 His children will be as in past days;
his congregation will be established in my presence.
I will punish all his oppressors.(Z)
21 Jacob’s leader will be one of them;
his ruler will issue from him.
I will invite him to me, and he will approach me,(AA)
for who would otherwise risk his life to approach me?
This is the Lord’s declaration.
22 You will be my people,
and I will be your God.(AB)
The Wrath of God
Jeremiah 30
New International Version
Restoration of Israel
30 This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord: 2 “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: ‘Write(A) in a book all the words I have spoken to you. 3 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.”
4 These are the words the Lord spoke concerning Israel and Judah: 5 “This is what the Lord says:
“‘Cries of fear(E) are heard—
terror, not peace.
6 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)
7 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.
8 “‘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)
9 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)’”

- Jeremiah 30:3 Or will restore the fortunes of my people Israel and Judah
Jeremiah 30
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
Nueva Traducción Viviente
Promesas de liberación
30 El Señor le dio otro mensaje a Jeremías. Le dijo: 2 «Esto dice el Señor, Dios de Israel: Jeremías, anota en un registro cada cosa que te he dicho. 3 Pues se acerca la hora cuando restableceré el bienestar de mi pueblo, Israel y Judá. Los traeré a casa, a esta tierra que di a sus antepasados, y volverán a poseerla. ¡Yo, el Señor, he hablado!».
4 Este es el mensaje que dio el Señor con relación a Israel y Judá. 5 Esto dice el Señor:
«Oigo gritos de temor;
hay terror y no hay paz.
6 Déjenme hacerles una pregunta:
¿Acaso los varones dan a luz?
¿Entonces por qué están parados allí con sus caras pálidas
y con las manos apoyadas sobre el vientre
como una mujer en parto?
7 En toda la historia nunca ha habido un tiempo de terror como este.
Será un tiempo de angustia para mi pueblo Israel.[a]
¡Pero al final será salvo!
8 Pues en ese día
—dice el Señor de los Ejércitos Celestiales—,
quebraré el yugo de sus cuellos
y romperé sus cadenas.
Los extranjeros no serán más sus amos.
9 Pues mi pueblo servirá al Señor su Dios
y a su rey, descendiente de David,
el rey que yo le levantaré.
10 »Así que no temas, Jacob, mi siervo;
no te dejes abatir, Israel
—dice el Señor—.
Pues desde tierras lejanas los traeré de regreso a casa,
y sus hijos regresarán del destierro.
Israel regresará a una vida de paz y tranquilidad,
y nadie lo atemorizará.
11 Yo estoy contigo y te salvaré
—dice el Señor—.
Destruiré por completo a las naciones entre las cuales te esparcí,
pero a ti no te destruiré por completo.
Te disciplinaré, pero con justicia;
no puedo dejarte sin castigo».
12 Esto dice el Señor:
«Tu lesión es incurable,
una herida terrible.
13 No hay nadie que te ayude
ni que vende tu herida.
Ningún medicamento puede curarte.
14 Todos tus amantes, tus aliados, te han abandonado
y ya no se interesan por ti.
Te he herido cruelmente
como si fuera tu enemigo.
Pues tus pecados son muchos
y tu culpa es grande.
15 ¿Por qué te quejas de tu castigo,
de esta herida que no tiene cura?
He tenido que castigarte
porque tus pecados son muchos
y tu culpa es grande.
16 »Pero todos los que te devoran serán devorados,
y todos tus enemigos serán enviados al destierro.
Todos los que te saquean serán saqueados,
y todos los que te atacan serán atacados.
17 Te devolveré la salud
y sanaré tus heridas—dice el Señor—,
aunque te llamen desechada, es decir,
“Jerusalén,[b] de quien nadie se interesa”».
18 Esto dice el Señor:
«Cuando del cautiverio traiga a Israel de regreso a casa
y cuando restablezca su bienestar,
Jerusalén será reedificada sobre sus ruinas
y el palacio reconstruido como antes.
19 Habrá alegría y canciones de acción de gracias,
y multiplicaré a mi pueblo, no lo reduciré;
lo honraré, no lo despreciaré.
20 Sus hijos prosperarán como en el pasado.
Los estableceré como una nación delante de mí,
y castigaré a cualquiera que les haga daño.
21 Volverán a tener su propio gobernante,
quien surgirá de entre ellos mismos.
Lo invitaré a que se acerque a mí—dice el Señor—,
porque ¿quién se atrevería a acercarse sin ser invitado?
22 Ustedes serán mi pueblo
y yo seré su Dios».
23 ¡Miren! El enojo del Señor estalla como una tormenta,
un viento devastador que se arremolina sobre las cabezas de los perversos.
24 La ira feroz del Señor no disminuirá
hasta que haya terminado con todo lo que él tiene pensado.
En los días futuros
ustedes entenderán todo esto.
