CHAPTER 30
Jeremiah 30:1
1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, Jeremiah 30:2
2 Thus speaketh the LORD God of Israel, saying, Write thee all the words
that I have spoken unto thee in a book. Jeremiah 30:3
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.
Jeremiah 30:4
4 And these are the words that the LORD spake concerning Israel and concerning Judah.
Jeremiah 30:5
5 For thus saith the LORD; We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and
not of peace.
Jeremiah 30:6
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?
Jeremiah 30:7
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. Jeremiah 30:8
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: Jeremiah 30:9
9 But they shall serve the LORD their God, and David their king, whom I
will raise up unto them.
Jeremiah 30:10
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. Jeremiah 30:11
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.
Jeremiah 30:12
12 For thus saith the LORD, Thy bruise is incurable, and thy wound is grievous.
Jeremiah 30:13
13 There is none to plead thy cause, that thou mayest be bound up: thou
hast no healing medicines.
Jeremiah 30:14
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.
Jeremiah 30:15
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.
Jeremiah 30:16
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. Jeremiah 30:17
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.
Jeremiah 30:18
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.
Jeremiah 30:19
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. Jeremiah 30:20
20 Their children also shall be as aforetime, and their congregation shall
be established before me, and I will punish all that oppress them. Jeremiah
30:21
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.
Jeremiah 30:22
22 And ye shall be my people, and I will be your God. Jeremiah 30:23
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. Jeremiah
30:24
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.
CHAPTER 31
Jeremiah 31:1
1 At the same time, saith the LORD, will I be the God of all the families
of Israel, and they shall be my people. Jeremiah 31:2
2 Thus saith the LORD, The people which were left of the sword found grace
in the wilderness; even Israel, when I went to cause him to rest. Jeremiah
31:3
3 The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee
with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.
Jeremiah 31:4
4 Again I will build thee, and thou shalt be built, O virgin of Israel:
thou shalt again be adorned with thy tabrets, and shalt go forth in the
dances of them that make merry.
Jeremiah 31:5
5 Thou shalt yet plant vines upon the mountains of Samaria: the planters
shall plant, and shall eat them as common things. Jeremiah 31:6
6 For there shall be a day, that the watchmen upon the mount Ephraim shall
cry, Arise ye, and let us go up to Zion unto the LORD our God. Jeremiah
31:7
7 For thus saith the LORD; Sing with gladness for Jacob, and shout among
the chief of the nations: publish ye, praise ye, and say, O LORD, save  thy
people,  the remnant  of Israel.
Jeremiah 31:8
8 Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from
the coasts of the earth, and with them the blind and the lame, the woman
with child and her that travaileth with child together: a great company 
shall return  thither.
Jeremiah 31:9
9 They shall come with weeping, and with supplications will I lead them: I
will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight way, wherein
they shall not stumble: for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim  is my
firstborn.
Jeremiah 31:10
10 Hear the word of the LORD, O ye nations, and declare it in the isles
afar off, and say, He that scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him,
as a shepherd  doth his flock.
Jeremiah 31:11
11 For the LORD hath redeemed Jacob, and ransomed him from the hand of him
that was stronger than he.
Jeremiah 31:12
12 Therefore they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, and shall flow
together to the goodness of the LORD, for wheat, and for wine, and for oil,
and for the young of the flock and of the herd:  and their soul  shall be
as a watered  garden;  and they shall not sorrow  any more  at all.
Jeremiah 31:13
13 Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, both young men and old
together: for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them,
and make them rejoice from their sorrow. Jeremiah 31:14
14 And I will satiate the soul of the priests with fatness, and my people
shall be satisfied with my goodness, saith the LORD. Jeremiah 31:15
15 Thus saith the LORD; A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, and bitter
weeping; Rahel weeping for her children refused to be comforted  for her
children,  because they were not.
Jeremiah 31:16
16 Thus saith the LORD; Refrain thy voice from weeping, and thine eyes from
tears: for thy work shall be rewarded, saith the LORD; and they shall come
again  from the land  of the enemy. Jeremiah 31:17
17 And there is hope in thine end, saith the LORD, that thy children shall
come again to their own border.
Jeremiah 31:18
18 I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself thus; Thou hast chastised
me, and I was chastised, as a bullock unaccustomed to the yoke: turn thou
me, and I shall be turned; for thou art the LORD my God. Jeremiah 31:19
19 Surely after that I was turned, I repented; and after that I was
instructed, I smote upon my thigh: I was ashamed, yea, even confounded,
because I did bear the reproach of my youth. Jeremiah 31:20
20 Is Ephraim my dear son? is he a pleasant child? for since I spake
against him, I do earnestly remember him still: therefore my bowels are
troubled for him; I will surely have mercy  upon him, saith  the LORD.
Jeremiah 31:21
21 Set thee up waymarks, make thee high heaps: set thine heart toward the
highway, even the way which thou wentest: turn again, O virgin of Israel,
turn again  to these thy cities.
Jeremiah 31:22
22 How long wilt thou go about, O thou backsliding daughter? for the LORD
hath created a new thing in the earth, A woman shall compass a man.
Jeremiah 31:23
23 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; As yet they shall use
this speech in the land of Judah and in the cities thereof, when I shall
bring again their captivity; The LORD  bless  thee, O habitation  of
justice,  and mountain  of holiness. Jeremiah 31:24
24 And there shall dwell in Judah itself, and in all the cities thereof
together, husbandmen, and they that go forth with flocks. Jeremiah 31:25
25 For I have satiated the weary soul, and I have replenished every sorrowful soul.
Jeremiah 31:26
26 Upon this I awaked, and beheld; and my sleep was sweet unto me. Jeremiah 31:27
27 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will sow the house of
Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man, and with the seed of
beast.
Jeremiah 31:28
28 And it shall come to pass, that like as I have watched over them, to
pluck up, and to break down, and to throw down, and to destroy, and to
afflict; so will I watch over them, to build, and to plant, saith the LORD.
Jeremiah 31:29
29 In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten a sour
grape, and the children's teeth are set on edge. Jeremiah 31:30
30 But every one shall die for his own iniquity: every man that eateth the
sour grape, his teeth shall be set on edge. Jeremiah 31:31
31 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant
with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: Jeremiah 31:32
32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day
that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which
my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith  the
LORD:
Jeremiah 31:33
33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of
Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward
parts, and write it in their hearts;  and will be their God,  and they
shall be my people.
Jeremiah 31:34
34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his
brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least
of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD:  for I will forgive
their iniquity,  and I will remember  their sin  no more. Jeremiah 31:35
35 Thus saith the LORD, which giveth the sun for a light by day, and the
ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which
divideth the sea  when the waves  thereof roar;  The LORD  of hosts  is his
name: Jeremiah 31:36
36 If those ordinances depart from before me, saith the LORD, then the seed
of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me for ever. Jeremiah
31:37
37 Thus saith the LORD; If heaven above can be measured, and the
foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off all the
seed of Israel for all that they have done,  saith  the LORD. Jeremiah
31:38
38 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that the city shall be built to
the LORD from the tower of Hananeel unto the gate of the corner. Jeremiah
31:39
39 And the measuring line shall yet go forth over against it upon the hill
Gareb, and shall compass about to Goath. Jeremiah 31:40
40 And the whole valley of the dead bodies, and of the ashes, and all the
fields unto the brook of Kidron, unto the corner of the horse gate toward
the east, shall be holy unto the LORD; it shall not be plucked up,  nor
thrown down  any more for ever.
CHAPTER 32
Jeremiah 32:1
1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD in the tenth year of
Zedekiah king of Judah, which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar.
Jeremiah 32:2
2 For then the king of Babylon's army besieged Jerusalem: and Jeremiah the
prophet was shut up in the court of the prison, which was in the king of
Judah's house.
Jeremiah 32:3
3 For Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him up, saying, Wherefore dost thou
prophesy, and say, Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will give this city into
the hand of the king  of Babylon,  and he shall take  it; Jeremiah 32:4
4 And Zedekiah king of Judah shall not escape out of the hand of the
Chaldeans, but shall surely be delivered into the hand of the king of
Babylon, and shall speak with him mouth  to mouth,  and his eyes  shall
behold  his eyes;
Jeremiah 32:5
5 And he shall lead Zedekiah to Babylon, and there shall he be until I
visit him, saith the LORD: though ye fight with the Chaldeans, ye shall not
prosper.
Jeremiah 32:6
6 And Jeremiah said, The word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Jeremiah 32:7
7 Behold, Hanameel the son of Shallum thine uncle shall come unto thee,
saying, Buy thee my field that is in Anathoth: for the right of redemption
is thine to buy it.
Jeremiah 32:8
8 So Hanameel mine uncle's son came to me in the court of the prison
according to the word of the LORD, and said unto me, Buy my field, I pray
thee, that is in Anathoth, which is in the country  of Benjamin:  for the
right  of inheritance  is thine, and the redemption  is thine; buy  it for
thyself. Then I knew  that this was the word  of the LORD. Jeremiah 32:9
9 And I bought the field of Hanameel my uncle's son, that was in Anathoth,
and weighed him the money, even seventeen shekels of silver. Jeremiah 32:10
10 And I subscribed the evidence, and sealed it, and took witnesses, and
weighed him the money in the balances. Jeremiah 32:11
11 So I took the evidence of the purchase, both that which was sealed
according to the law and custom, and that which was open: Jeremiah 32:12
12 And I gave the evidence of the purchase unto Baruch the son of Neriah,
the son of Maaseiah, in the sight of Hanameel mine uncle's son, and in the
presence of the witnesses  that subscribed  the book  of the purchase,
before  all the Jews  that sat  in the court  of the prison. Jeremiah 32:13
13 And I charged Baruch before them, saying, Jeremiah 32:14
14 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Take these evidences,
this evidence of the purchase, both which is sealed, and this evidence
which is open; and put  them in an earthen  vessel,  that they may continue
 many days.
Jeremiah 32:15
15 For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Houses and fields
and vineyards shall be possessed again in this land. Jeremiah 32:16
16 Now when I had delivered the evidence of the purchase unto Baruch the
son of Neriah, I prayed unto the LORD, saying, Jeremiah 32:17
17 Ah Lord GOD! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy
great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee:
Jeremiah 32:18
18 Thou shewest lovingkindness unto thousands, and recompensest the
iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them: the
Great, the Mighty God, the LORD  of hosts,  is his name, Jeremiah 32:19
19 Great in counsel, and mighty in work: for thine eyes are open upon all
the ways of the sons of men: to give every one according to his ways, and
according to the fruit  of his doings: Jeremiah 32:20
20 Which hast set signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, even unto this
day, and in Israel, and among other men; and hast made thee a name, as at
this day;
Jeremiah 32:21
21 And hast brought forth thy people Israel out of the land of Egypt with
signs, and with wonders, and with a strong hand, and with a stretched out
arm, and with great terror;
Jeremiah 32:22
22 And hast given them this land, which thou didst swear to their fathers
to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey; Jeremiah 32:23
23 And they came in, and possessed it; but they obeyed not thy voice,
neither walked in thy law; they have done nothing of all that thou
commandedst them to do: therefore thou hast caused all this evil to come
upon them:
Jeremiah 32:24
24 Behold the mounts, they are come unto the city to take it; and the city
is given into the hand of the Chaldeans, that fight against it, because of
the sword, and of the famine, and of the pestilence:  and what thou hast
spoken  is come to pass; and, behold, thou seest  it. Jeremiah 32:25
25 And thou hast said unto me, O Lord GOD, Buy thee the field for money,
and take witnesses; for the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.
Jeremiah 32:26
26 Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah, saying, Jeremiah 32:27
27 Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?
Jeremiah 32:28
28 Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will give this city into the
hand of the Chaldeans, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon,
and he shall take it:
Jeremiah 32:29
29 And the Chaldeans, that fight against this city, shall come and set fire
on this city, and burn it with the houses, upon whose roofs they have
offered incense unto Baal, and poured out  drink offerings  unto other
gods,  to provoke me to anger.
Jeremiah 32:30
30 For the children of Israel and the children of Judah have only done evil
before me from their youth: for the children of Israel have only provoked
me to anger with the work of their hands,  saith  the LORD. Jeremiah 32:31
31 For this city hath been to me as a provocation of mine anger and of my
fury from the day that they built it even unto this day; that I should
remove it from before my face,
Jeremiah 32:32
32 Because of all the evil of the children of Israel and of the children of
Judah, which they have done to provoke me to anger, they, their kings,
their princes, their priests, and their prophets, and the men of Judah, 
and the inhabitants  of Jerusalem.
Jeremiah 32:33
33 And they have turned unto me the back, and not the face: though I taught
them, rising up early and teaching them, yet they have not hearkened to
receive instruction.
Jeremiah 32:34
34 But they set their abominations in the house, which is called by my
name, to defile it.
Jeremiah 32:35
35 And they built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the
son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the
fire unto Molech; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my mind,
that they should do  this abomination,  to cause Judah  to sin. Jeremiah
32:36
36 And now therefore thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, concerning
this city, whereof ye say, It shall be delivered into the hand of the king
of Babylon by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence; Jeremiah
32:37
37 Behold, I will gather them out of all countries, whither I have driven
them in mine anger, and in my fury, and in great wrath; and I will bring
them again unto this place, and I will cause them to dwell safely: Jeremiah
32:38
38 And they shall be my people, and I will be their God: Jeremiah 32:39
39 And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me for
ever, for the good of them, and of their children after them: Jeremiah
32:40
40 And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn
away from them, to do them good; but I will put my fear in their hearts,
that they shall not depart from me. Jeremiah 32:41
41 Yea, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will plant them in
this land assuredly with my whole heart and with my whole soul. Jeremiah
32:42
42 For thus saith the LORD; Like as I have brought all this great evil upon
this people, so will I bring upon them all the good that I have promised
them.
Jeremiah 32:43
43 And fields shall be bought in this land, whereof ye say, It is desolate
without man or beast; it is given into the hand of the Chaldeans. Jeremiah
32:44
44 Men shall buy fields for money, and subscribe evidences, and seal them,
and take witnesses in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about
Jerusalem, and in the cities  of Judah,  and in the cities  of the
mountains,  and in the cities  of the valley,  and in the cities  of the
south:  for I will cause their captivity  to return,  saith  the LORD.
