Jeremiah

1 The word that came to Jeremi­ah from the LORD, say­ing, 2 Thus speaketh the LORD God of Is­rael, say­ing, Write thee all the words that I have spo­ken unto thee in a book. 3 For, lo, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will bring again the cap­tiv­i­ty of my peo­ple Is­rael and Ju­dah, saith the LORD: and I will cause them to re­turn to the land that I gave to their fa­thers, and they shall pos­sess it. 4 And these are the words that the LORD spake con­cern­ing Is­rael and con­cern­ing Ju­dah. 5 For thus saith the LORD; We have heard a voice of trem­bling, of fear, and not of peace. 6 Ask ye now, and see whether a man doth tra­vail with child? where­fore do I see ev­ery man with his hands on his loins, as a wom­an in tra­vail, and all faces are turned into pale­ness? 7 Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob's trou­ble; but he shall be saved out of it. 8 For it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and will burst thy bonds, and strangers shall no more serve them­selves of him: 9 But they shall serve the LORD their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up unto them. 10 There­fore fear thou not, O my ser­vant Ja­cob, saith the LORD; nei­ther be dis­mayed, O Is­rael: for, lo, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their cap­tiv­i­ty; and Ja­cob shall re­turn, and shall be in rest, and be qui­et, and none shall make him afraid. 11 For I am with thee, saith the LORD, to save thee: though I make a full end of all na­tions whith­er I have scat­tered thee, yet will I not make a full end of thee: but I will cor­rect thee in mea­sure, and will not leave thee al­to­geth­er un­pun­ished. 12 For thus saith the LORD, Thy bruise is in­cur­able, and thy wound is grievous. 13 There is none to plead thy cause, that thou mayest be bound up: thou hast no heal­ing medicines. 14 All thy lovers have for­got­ten thee; they seek thee not; for I have wound­ed thee with the wound of an en­e­my, with the chas­tise­ment of a cru­el one, for the mul­ti­tude of thine in­iq­ui­ty; because thy sins were in­creased. 15 Why criest thou for thine af­flic­tion? thy sor­row is in­cur­able for the mul­ti­tude of thine in­iq­ui­ty: because thy sins were in­creased, I have done these things unto thee. 16 There­fore all they that de­vour thee shall be de­voured; and all thine ad­ver­saries, ev­ery one of them, shall go into cap­tiv­i­ty; and they that spoil thee shall be a spoil, and all that prey upon thee will I give for a prey. 17 For I will re­store health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the LORD; be­cause they called thee an Out­cast, saying, This is Zion, whom no man seeketh af­ter. 18 Thus saith the LORD; Be­hold, I will bring again the cap­tiv­i­ty of Jacob's tents, and have mer­cy on his dwelling­places; and the city shall be build­ed upon her own heap, and the palace shall re­main af­ter the man­ner there­of. 19 And out of them shall pro­ceed thanks­giv­ing and the voice of them that make mer­ry: and I will mul­ti­ply them, and they shall not be few; I will also glo­ri­fy them, and they shall not be small. 20 Their chil­dren also shall be as afore­time, and their con­gre­ga­tion shall be es­tab­lished be­fore me, and I will pun­ish all that op­press them. 21 And their no­bles shall be of them­selves, and their gov­er­nor shall pro­ceed from the midst of them; and I will cause him to draw near, and he shall ap­proach unto me: for who is this that en­gaged his heart to ap­proach unto me? saith the LORD. 22 And ye shall be my peo­ple, and I will be your God. 23 Be­hold, the whirl­wind of the LORD goeth forth with fury, a con­tin­u­ing whirl­wind: it shall fall with pain upon the head of the wicked. 24 The fierce anger of the LORD shall not re­turn, un­til he have done it, and un­til he have per­formed the in­tents of his heart: in the lat­ter days ye shall con­sid­er it.
