The return of the Jews -- Wrath shall fall on the wicked.

¹⁾The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORDLord, saying,

²⁾Thus speaketh the LORDLord 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 LORDLord, that I will bring again the captivity of my people Israel and Judah, saith the LORD: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 LORDLord spake concerning Israel and concerning Judah.

⁵⁾For thus saith the LORDLord; 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 LORDLord 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 LORDLord their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up unto them.

¹⁰⁾Therefore fear thou not, O my servant Jacob, saith the LORDLord; 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 LORDLord, to save thee:; though I make a full end of all nations whither I have scattered thee, yet will I will 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 LORDLord, Thythy bruise is not incurable, andalthough thy woundwounds isare grievous.

¹³⁾ThereIs isthere none to plead thy cause, that thou mayest be bound up:? Hast thou hast no healing medicines.?

¹⁴⁾AllHave all thy lovers have forgotten thee;, do they not seek thee? not; forFor I have wounded thee with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel one, for the multitude of thine iniquityiniquities; because thy sins wereare increased.

¹⁵⁾Why criest thou for thine affliction? Is thy sorrow isincurable? incurableIt was for the multitude of thine iniquity:iniquities, and because thy sins wereare increased, I have done these things unto thee.

¹⁶⁾ThereforeBut 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 LORDLord; because they called thee an Outcast, saying, This is Zion, whom no man seeketh after.

¹⁸⁾Thus saith the LORDLord; Behold, I will bring again the captivity of Jacob's tents, and have mercy on his dwellingplacesdwelling places; 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 LORDLord.

²²⁾And ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.

²³⁾Behold, the whirlwind of the LORDLord goeth forth with fury, a continuing whirlwind:; it shall fall with pain upon the head of the wicked.

²⁴⁾The fierce anger of the LORDLord shall not return, until he hathhave done it, and until he have performed the intents of his heart:; in the latter days ye shall consider it.
