1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord:
2 Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel: Write unto you all the words that I spoke unto you, in the book.
3 For, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, when I will bring back from my captivity my people Israel and Judah, saith the LORD; And I will bring them again into the land which he gave to their fathers, and they will possess it.
4 And these are the words that the Lord said about Israel and Judah.
5 Thus said the Lord: We hear the voice of confusion and horror, not of peace.
6th Ask and judge: Does a man give birth? Why do I see every man's hands on his loins, like a woman in childbirth, and the faces of all are pale?
7th Oh, woe! Great is that day, there was none like it; This is a miserable time for Jacob, but he will be saved from him.
8 And it shall come to pass in that day, says the LORD of hosts, I will break his yoke which is upon thine own, and will tear your bonds; And will no longer serve strangers,
9 But they will serve the LORD their God, and David his king, whom I will restore to them.

10 And you, my servant Jacob, do not be afraid, says the Lord, and do not be afraid, Israel; For, behold, I will save thee from a far country, and thy seed out of the land of their captivity; And Jacob will return and live peacefully and peacefully, and no one will frighten him,
eleven For I am with you, says the Lord, to save you: I will utterly destroy all the nations among whom I scattered you, but will not destroy you; I will punish you in measure, but I will not leave you unpunished.
12 For thus saith the Lord: Thy wound is not worthy, thy plague is cruel;
13 No one cares about your cause, to heal your wound; There is no healing medicine for you;
14 All your friends have forgotten you, they are not looking for you; For I have smitten thee with blows with an enemy, cruel punishment for the multitude of thy iniquities, because thy sins are many.
15 Why do you cry for your wounds, for the cruelty of your disease? According to the multitude of thy iniquities, I have done this unto thee, because thy sins were many.
16 But all that devour you will be devoured; And all your enemies, all of them themselves will go into captivity, and your ravagers will be desolate, and I will betray all the robbers of yours.
17th I will bind you with plaster, and I will heal you of your wounds, says the Lord. You were called outcast, saying: "Behold Zion, of whom no man asks";

18 Thus saith the Lord: Behold, I will bring again the captivity of the tabernacles of Jacob, and have mercy on his dwelling. And the city will again be built on its hill, and the temple will be arranged as before.
19 And they shall ascend from them thanksgiving and the voice of them that rejoice; And I will multiply them, and they shall not be diminished, and shall glorify them, and shall not be abased.
20 And his sons shall be as before, and his congregation shall stand before Me, and I will punish all who oppress him.
21 And his leader shall be of himself, and his lord shall come out of his midst; And I will draw him near, and he will come to me; For who dares to draw near to Me? Says the Lord.
22 And you will be my people, and I will be your God.
23 Behold, a fierce whirlwind comes from the Lord, a formidable whirlwind; He will fall on the head of the wicked.
24 The fiery wrath of the Lord will not turn away until He does and does not fulfill the intentions of His heart. In the last days you will understand this.
