Jeremiah 30:10–17

¹⁰‘^aFear not, O Jacob My ¹servant,’ declares Yahweh,

‘And do not be dismayed, O Israel;

For behold, I will save you ^bfrom afar

And your seed from the land of their captivity.

And Jacob will return and will be ^cquiet and at ease,

And ^dno one will make him tremble.

¹¹‘For ^aI am with you,’ declares Yahweh, ‘to save you;

For I will ^bmake a complete destruction of all the nations where I have scattered you,

Only I will ^cnot make a complete destruction of you.

But I will ^dchasten you justly

And will by no means leave you unpunished.’

¹²“For thus says Yahweh,

‘Your injury is incurable,

And your ^awound is desperately sick.

¹³‘There is no one to plead your cause;

No healing for your sore,

^aNo recovery for you.

¹⁴‘All your ^alovers have forgotten you;

They do not seek you;

For I have ^1bwounded you with the wound of an enemy,

With the ^cpunishment of a ^dcruel one,

Because your ^einiquity is numerous

And your ^fsins 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 ^adevour you will be devoured;

And all your adversaries, every one of them, ^bwill 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 ¹restore you to ^2ahealth,

And I will heal you of your wounds,’ declares Yahweh,

‘Because they have called you a ^bbanished one, saying:

“It is Zion; no one is seeking her.” ’
