Jeremiah 30: 1 - 2, 12 - 15, 18 - 22

The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD:
|
| 2
|
"Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel: Write in a book all the words that I have spoken to you.
|
| 12
|
"For thus says the LORD: Your hurt is incurable, and your wound is grievous.
|
| 13
|
There is none to uphold your cause, no medicine for your wound, no healing for you.
|
| 14
|
All your lovers have forgotten you; they care nothing for you; for I have dealt you the blow of an enemy, the punishment of a merciless foe, because your guilt is great, because your sins are flagrant.
|
| 15
|
Why do you cry out over your hurt? Your pain is incurable. Because your guilt is great, because your sins are flagrant, I have done these things to you.
|
| 18
|
"Thus says the LORD: Behold, I will restore the fortunes of the tents of Jacob, and have compassion on his dwellings; the city shall be rebuilt upon its mound, and the palace shall stand where it used to be.
|
| 19
|
Out of them shall come songs of thanksgiving, and the voices of those who make merry. I will multiply them, and they shall not be few; I will make them honored, and they shall not be small.
|
| 20
|
Their children shall be as they were of old, and their congregation shall be established before me; and I will punish all who oppress them.
|
| 21
|
Their prince shall be one of themselves, their ruler shall come forth from their midst; I will make him draw near, and he shall approach me, for who would dare of himself to approach me? says the LORD.
|
| 22
|
And you shall be my people, and I will be your God."
