Jeremiah 30:17-21
The Message
16-17 “‘Everyone who hurt you will be hurt;
your enemies will end up as slaves.
Your plunderers will be plundered;
your looters will become loot.
As for you, I’ll come with healing,
curing the incurable,
Because they all gave up on you
and dismissed you as hopeless—
that good-for-nothing Zion.’
18-21 “Again, God’s Message:
“‘I’ll turn things around for Jacob.
I’ll compassionately come in and rebuild homes.
The town will be rebuilt on its old foundations;
the mansions will be splendid again.
Thanksgivings will pour out of the windows;
laughter will spill through the doors.
Things will get better and better.
Depression days are over.
They’ll thrive, they’ll flourish.
The days of contempt will be over.
They’ll look forward to having children again,
to being a community in which I take pride.
I’ll punish anyone who hurts them,
and their prince will come from their own ranks.
One of their own people shall be their leader.
Their ruler will come from their own ranks.
I’ll grant him free and easy access to me.
Would anyone dare to do that on his own,
to enter my presence uninvited?’ God’s Decree.
Jeremiah 30:17-19
New International Version
17 But I will restore you to health
and heal(A) your wounds,’
declares the Lord,
‘because you are called an outcast,(B)
Zion for whom no one cares.’(C)
18 “This is what the Lord says:
“‘I will restore the fortunes(D) of Jacob’s tents(E)
and have compassion(F) on his dwellings;
the city will be rebuilt(G) on her ruins,
and the palace will stand in its proper place.
19 From them will come songs(H) of thanksgiving(I)
and the sound of rejoicing.(J)
I will add to their numbers,(K)
and they will not be decreased;
I will bring them honor,(L)
and they will not be disdained.
