The Book of Jeremiah, Chapter 30ירמיהו 30

הַדָּבָר֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר הָיָ֣ה אֶֽל יִרְמְיָ֔הוּ מֵאֵ֥ת יְהוָ֖ה לֵאמֹֽר

The word that came to Jeremiah from YHWH, saying,

כֹּֽה אָמַ֧ר יְהוָ֛ה אֱלֹהֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל לֵאמֹ֑ר כְּתָב לְךָ֗ אֵ֧ת כָּל הַדְּבָרִ֛ים אֲשֶׁר דִּבַּ֥רְתִּי אֵלֶ֖יךָ אֶל סֵֽפֶר

Thus speaketh YHWH God of Israel, saying, Write you all the words that I have spoken to you in a book.

כִּ֠י הִנֵּ֨ה יָמִ֤ים בָּאִים֙ נְאֻם יְהוָ֔ה וְ֠שַׁבְתִּי אֶת שְׁב֨וּת עַמִּ֧י יִשְׂרָאֵ֛ל וִֽיהוּדָ֖ה אָמַ֣ר יְהוָ֑ה וַהֲשִׁבֹתִ֗ים אֶל הָאָ֛רֶץ אֲשֶׁר נָתַ֥תִּי לַאֲבוֹתָ֖ם וִֽירֵשֽׁוּהָ

For, lo, the days come, says YHWH, that I will bring again the captivity of my people Israel and Judah, says YHWH: and I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it.

וְאֵ֣לֶּה הַדְּבָרִ֗ים אֲשֶׁ֨ר דִּבֶּ֧ר יְהוָ֛ה אֶל יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל וְאֶל יְהוּדָֽה

And these the words that YHWH spake concerning Israel and concerning Judah.

כִּי כֹה֙ אָמַ֣ר יְהוָ֔ה ק֥וֹל חֲרָדָ֖ה שָׁמָ֑עְנוּ פַּ֖חַד וְאֵ֥ין שָׁלֽוֹם

For thus says YHWH; We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace.

שַׁאֲלוּ נָ֣א וּרְא֔וּ אִם יֹלֵ֖ד זָכָ֑ר מַדּוּעַ֩ רָאִ֨יתִי כָל גֶּ֜בֶר יָדָ֤יו עַל חֲלָצָיו֙ כַּיּ֣וֹלֵדָ֔ה וְנֶהֶפְכ֥וּ כָל פָּנִ֖ים לְיֵרָקֽוֹן

Ask you now, and see whether a man does 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?

ה֗וֹי כִּ֥י גָד֛וֹל הַיּ֥וֹם הַה֖וּא מֵאַ֣יִן כָּמֹ֑הוּ וְעֵֽת צָרָ֥ה הִיא֙ לְיַֽעֲקֹ֔ב וּמִמֶּ֖נָּה יִוָּשֵֽׁעַ

Alas! for that day great, so that none like it: it even the time of Jacob's trouble; but he shall be saved out of it.

וְהָיָה֩ בַיּ֨וֹם הַה֜וּא נְאֻ֣ם יְהוָ֣ה צְבָא֗וֹת אֶשְׁבֹּ֤ר עֻלּוֹ֙ מֵעַ֣ל צַוָּארֶ֔ךָ וּמוֹסְרוֹתֶ֖יךָ אֲנַתֵּ֑ק וְלֹא יַעַבְדוּ ב֥וֹ ע֖וֹד זָרִֽים

For it shall come to pass in that day, says YHWH of hosts, I will break his yoke from off your neck, and will burst your bonds, and strangers shall no more serve themselves of him:

וְעָ֣בְד֔וּ אֵ֖ת יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹֽהֵיהֶ֑ם וְאֵת֙ דָּוִ֣ד מַלְכָּ֔ם אֲשֶׁ֥ר אָקִ֖ים לָהֶֽם

But they shall serve YHWH their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up to them.

וְאַתָּ֡ה אַל תִּירָא֩ עַבְדִּ֨י יַעֲקֹ֤ב נְאֻם יְהֹוָה֙ וְאַל תֵּחַ֣ת יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל כִּ֠י הִנְנִ֤י מוֹשִֽׁיעֲךָ֙ מֵֽרָח֔וֹק וְאֶֽת זַרְעֲךָ֖ מֵאֶ֣רֶץ שִׁבְיָ֑ם וְשָׁ֧ב יַעֲקֹ֛ב וְשָׁקַ֥ט וְשַׁאֲנַ֖ן וְאֵ֥ין מַחֲרִֽיד

Therefore fear you not, O my servant Jacob, says YHWH; neither be dismayed, O Israel: for, lo, I will save you from afar, and your seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be in rest, and be quiet, and none shall make afraid.

כִּֽי אִתְּךָ֥ אֲנִ֛י נְאֻם יְהוָ֖ה לְהֽוֹשִׁיעֶ֑ךָ כִּי֩ אֶעֱשֶׂ֨ה כָלָ֜ה בְּכָֽל הַגּוֹיִ֣ם אֲשֶׁ֧ר הֲפִצוֹתִ֣יךָ שָּׁ֗ם אַ֤ךְ אֹֽתְךָ֙ לֹֽא אֶעֱשֶׂ֣ה כָלָ֔ה וְיִסַּרְתִּ֨יךָ֙ לַמִּשְׁפָּ֔ט וְנַקֵּ֖ה לֹ֥א אֲנַקֶּֽךָּ

For I with you, says YHWH, to save you: though I make a full end of all nations whither I have scattered you, yet will I not make a full end of you: but I will correct you in measure, and will not leave you altogether unpunished.

כִּ֣י כֹ֥ה אָמַ֛ר יְהוָ֖ה אָנ֣וּשׁ לְשִׁבְרֵ֑ךְ נַחְלָ֖ה מַכָּתֵֽךְ

For thus says YHWH, Your bruise incurable, your wound grievous.

אֵֽין דָּ֥ן דִּינֵ֖ךְ לְמָז֑וֹר רְפֻא֥וֹת תְּעָלָ֖ה אֵ֥ין לָֽךְ

none to plead your cause, that you mayest be bound up: you have no healing medicines.

כָּל מְאַהֲבַ֣יִךְ שְׁכֵח֔וּךְ אוֹתָ֖ךְ לֹ֣א יִדְרֹ֑שׁוּ כִּי֩ מַכַּ֨ת אוֹיֵ֤ב הִכִּיתִיךְ֙ מוּסַ֣ר אַכְזָרִ֔י עַ֚ל רֹ֣ב עֲוֺנֵ֔ךְ עָצְמ֖וּ חַטֹּאתָֽיִךְ

All your lovers have forgotten you; they seek you not; for I have wounded you with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel one, for the multitude of your iniquity; your sins were increased.

מַה תִּזְעַק֙ עַל שִׁבְרֵ֔ךְ אָנ֖וּשׁ מַכְאֹבֵ֑ךְ עַ֣ל רֹ֣ב עֲוֺנֵ֗ךְ עָֽצְמוּ֙ חַטֹּאתַ֔יִךְ עָשִׂ֥יתִי אֵ֖לֶּה לָֽךְ

Why criest you for your affliction? your sorrow incurable for the multitude of your iniquity: your sins were increased, I have done these things to you.

לָכֵ֞ן כָּל אֹכְלַ֨יִךְ֙ יֵאָכֵ֔לוּ וְכָל צָרַ֥יִךְ כֻּלָּ֖ם בַּשְּׁבִ֣י יֵלֵ֑כוּ וְהָי֤וּ שֹׁאסַ֨יִךְ֙ לִמְשִׁסָּ֔ה וְכָל בֹּזְזַ֖יִךְ אֶתֵּ֥ן לָבַֽז

Therefore all they that devour you shall be devoured; and all your adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity; and they that spoil you shall be a spoil, and all that prey upon you will I give for a prey.

כִּי֩ אַעֲלֶ֨ה אֲרֻכָ֥ה לָ֛ךְ וּמִמַּכּוֹתַ֥יִךְ אֶרְפָּאֵ֖ךְ נְאֻם יְהוָ֑ה כִּ֤י נִדָּחָה֙ קָ֣רְאוּ לָ֔ךְ צִיּ֣וֹן הִ֔יא דֹּרֵ֖שׁ אֵ֥ין לָֽהּ

For I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds, says YHWH; because they called you an Outcast, , This Zion, whom no man seeketh after.

כֹּ֣ה אָמַ֣ר יְהוָ֗ה הִנְנִי שָׁב֙ שְׁבוּת֙ אָהֳלֵ֣י יַֽעֲק֔וֹב וּמִשְׁכְּנֹתָ֖יו אֲרַחֵ֑ם וְנִבְנְתָ֥ה עִיר֙ עַל תִּלָּ֔הּ וְאַרְמ֖וֹן עַל מִשְׁפָּט֥וֹ יֵשֵֽׁב

Thus says YHWH; 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.

וְיָצָ֥א מֵהֶ֛ם תּוֹדָ֖ה וְק֣וֹל מְשַׂחֲקִ֑ים וְהִרְבִּתִים֙ וְלֹ֣א יִמְעָ֔טוּ וְהִכְבַּדְתִּ֖ים וְלֹ֥א יִצְעָֽרוּ

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.

וְהָי֤וּ בָנָיו֙ כְּקֶ֔דֶם וַעֲדָת֖וֹ לְפָנַ֣י תִּכּ֑וֹן וּפָ֣קַדְתִּ֔י עַ֖ל כָּל לֹחֲצָֽיו

Their children also shall be as aforetime, and their congregation shall be established before me, and I will punish all that oppress them.

וְהָיָ֨ה אַדִּיר֜וֹ מִמֶּ֗נּוּ וּמֹֽשְׁלוֹ֙ מִקִּרְבּ֣וֹ יֵצֵ֔א וְהִקְרַבְתִּ֖יו וְנִגַּ֣שׁ אֵלָ֑י כִּי֩ מִ֨י הוּא זֶ֜ה עָרַ֧ב אֶת לִבּ֛וֹ לָגֶ֥שֶׁת אֵלַ֖י נְאֻם יְהוָֽה

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 to me: for who this that engaged his heart to approach to me? says YHWH.

וִהְיִ֥יתֶם לִ֖י לְעָ֑ם וְאָ֣נֹכִ֔י אֶהְיֶ֥ה לָכֶ֖ם לֵאלֹהִֽים

And you shall be my people, and I will be your God.

הִנֵּ֣ה סַעֲרַ֣ת יְהוָ֗ה חֵמָה֙ יָֽצְאָ֔ה סַ֖עַר מִתְגּוֹרֵ֑ר עַ֛ל רֹ֥אשׁ רְשָׁעִ֖ים יָחֽוּל

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

לֹ֣א יָשׁ֗וּב חֲרוֹן֙ אַף יְהוָ֔ה עַד עֲשֹׂת֥וֹ וְעַד הֲקִימ֖וֹ מְזִמּ֣וֹת לִבּ֑וֹ בְּאַחֲרִ֥ית הַיָּמִ֖ים תִּתְבּ֥וֹנְנוּ בָֽהּ

The fierce anger of YHWH shall not return, until he have done , and until he have performed the intents of his heart: in the latter days you shall consider it.
