Jeremiah 30:10–17

¹⁰‘^aFear not, O Jacob My servant,’ declares the Lord,

‘And do not be dismayed, O Israel;

For behold, I will save you ^bfrom afar

And your ¹offspring from the land of their captivity.

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

And ^dno one will make him afraid.

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

For I will ^bdestroy completely all the nations where I have scattered you,

Only I will ^cnot destroy you completely.

But I will ^dchasten you justly

And will by no means leave you unpunished.’

¹²“For thus says the Lord,

‘Your wound is incurable

And your ^ainjury is serious.

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 ^bwounded you with the wound of an enemy,

With the ^cpunishment of a ^dcruel one,

Because your ^einiquity is great

And your ^fsins are numerous.

¹⁵‘Why do you cry out over your injury?

Your pain is incurable.

Because your iniquity is great

And your sins are numerous,

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 plunder you will be for plunder,

And all who prey upon you I will give for prey.

¹⁷‘For I will ¹restore you to ^2ahealth

And I will heal you of your wounds,’ declares the Lord,

‘Because they have called you an ^boutcast, saying:

“It is Zion; no one ³cares for her.” ’
