Jeremiah 30:10–17

^10*“My people, do not be afraid;

people of Israel, do not be terrified.

I will rescue you from that distant land,

from the land where you are prisoners.

You will come back home and live in peace;

you will be secure, and no one will make you afraid.

^11*I will come to you and save you.

I will destroy all the nations

where I have scattered you,

but I will not destroy you.

I will not let you go unpunished;

but when I punish you, I will be fair.

I, the Lord, have spoken.”

¹²The Lord says to his people,

“Your wounds are incurable,

your injuries cannot be healed.

¹³There is no one to take care of you,

no remedy for your sores,

no hope of healing for you.

¹⁴All your lovers have forgotten you;

they no longer care about you.

I have attacked you like an enemy;

your punishment has been harsh

because your sins are many

and your wickedness is great.

¹⁵Complain no more about your injuries; there is no cure for you.

I punished you like this because your sins are many and your wickedness is great.

¹⁶But now, all who devour you will be devoured,

and all your enemies will be taken away as prisoners.

All who oppress you will be oppressed,

and all who plunder you will be plundered.

¹⁷I will make you well again;

I will heal your wounds, though your enemies say,

‘Zion is an outcast;

no one cares about her.’

I, the Lord, have spoken.”
