Jeremiah 30:16–22

16 ‘Therefore all those who devour you ushall be devoured;

And all your adversaries, every one of them, shall go into vcaptivity;

Those who plunder you shall become wplunder,

And all who prey upon you I will make a xprey.

17 yFor 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 zhave mercy on his dwelling places;

The city shall be built upon its own 4mound,

And the palace shall remain according to its own plan.

19 Then aout of them shall proceed thanksgiving

And the voice of those who make merry;

bI 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 cas 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,

dAnd their governor shall come from their midst;

Then I will ecause 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 fMy people,

And I will be your God.’ ”
