Jeremiah 耶利米书30

30This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord :
2"This is what the Lord , the God of Israel, says: 'Write in a book all the words I have spoken to you.
3The days are coming,' declares the Lord , 'when I will bring my people Israel and Judah back from captivity² and restore them to the land I gave their forefathers³ to possess,' says the Lord ."
4These are the words the Lord spoke¹ concerning Israel and Judah:
5"This is what the Lord says: " 'Cries of fear are heard- terror, not peace.
6Ask and see: Can a man bear children? Then why do I see every strong man with his hands on his stomach like a woman in labor⁴, every face turned deathly pale?
7How awful that day will be! None will be like it. It will be a time of trouble for Jacob, but he will be saved out of it.
8" 'In that day,' declares the Lord Almighty⁵, 'I will break the yoke⁶ off their necks and will tear off their bonds; no longer will foreigners enslave them.
9Instead, they will serve the Lord their God and David their king, whom I will raise up for them.
10" 'So do not fear, O Jacob my servant; do not be dismayed, O Israel,' declares the Lord . 'I will surely save you out of a distant place, your descendants from the land of their exile. Jacob will again have peace and security, and no one will make him afraid.
11I am with you and will save you,' declares the Lord . 'Though I completely destroy all the nations among which I scatter⁷ you, I will not completely destroy you. I will discipline you but only with justice; I will not let you go entirely⁸ unpunished.'
12"This is what the Lord says: " 'Your wound is incurable⁹, your injury beyond healing.
13There is no one to plead your cause, no remedy for your sore, no healing for you.
14All your allies have forgotten you; they care nothing for you. I have struck you as an enemy would and punished you as would the cruel, because your guilt¹⁰ is so great and your sins so many.
15Why do you cry out over your wound, your pain that has no cure? Because of your great guilt and many sins I have done these things to you.
16" 'But all who devour¹¹ you will be devoured¹²; all your enemies will go into exile. Those who plunder¹³ you will be plundered¹⁴; all who make spoil of you I will despoil¹⁵.
17But I will restore you to health and heal your wounds,' declares the Lord , 'because you are called an outcast, Zion for whom no one cares.'
18"This is what the Lord says: " 'I will restore the fortunes of Jacob's tents and have compassion¹⁶ on his dwellings¹⁷; the city will be rebuilt on her ruins, and the palace will stand in its proper place.
19From them will come songs of thanksgiving and the sound of rejoicing. I will add to their numbers, and they will not be decreased; I will bring them honor, and they will not be disdained¹⁸.
20Their children will be as in days of old, and their community will be established before me; I will punish all who oppress them.
21Their leader will be one of their own; their ruler will arise from among them. I will bring him near and he will come close to me, for who is he who will devote himself to be close to me?' declares the Lord .
22" 'So you will be my people, and I will be your God.' "
23See, the storm of the Lord will burst out in wrath¹⁹, a driving wind swirling²⁰ down on the heads of the wicked.
24The fierce anger of the Lord will not turn back until he fully²¹ accomplishes the purposes of his heart. In days to come you will understand this.
