29:29. So Sophonias the priest read this letter, in the hearing of
Jeremias the prophet.
29:30. And the word of the Lord came to Jeremias, saying:
29:31. Send to all them of the captivity, saying: Thus saith the Lord to
Semeias the Nehelamite: Because Semeias hath prophesied to you, and I
sent him not: and hath caused you to trust in a lie:
29:32. Therefore thus saith the Lord: behold I will visit upon Semeias
the Nehelamite, and upon his seed: he shall not have a man to sit in the
midst of this people, and he shall not see the good that I will do to my
people, saith the Lord: because he hath spoken treason against the Lord.
Jeremias Chapter 30
God will deliver his people from their captivity: Christ shall be their
king: and his church shall be glorious for ever.
30:1. This is the word that came to Jeremias from the Lord, saying:
30:2. Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel, saying: Write thee all the
words that I have spoken to thee, in a book.
30:3. For behold the days come, saith the Lord, and I will bring again
the captivity of my people Israel and Juda, saith the Lord: and I will
cause them to return to the land which I gave to their fathers, and they
shall possess it.
30:4. And these are the words that the Lord hath spoken to Israel and to
Juda:
30:5. For thus saith the Lord: We have heard a voice of terror: there is
fear and no peace.
30:6. Ask ye, and see if a man bear children? why then have I seen every
man with his hands on his loins, like a woman in labour, and all faces
are turned yellow?
30:7. Alas, for that day is great, neither is there the like to it; and
it is the time of tribulation to Jacob, but he shall be saved out of it.
30:8. And 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 his bands:
and strangers shall no more rule over him:
30:9. But they shall serve the Lord their God, and David their king,
whom I will raise up to them.
David... That is, Christ of the house of David.
30:10. Therefore fear thou not, my servant Jacob, saith the Lord,
neither be dismayed, O Israel: for behold, I will save thee from a
country afar off, and thy seed from the land of their captivity: and
Jacob shall return, and be at rest, and abound with all good things, and
there shall be none whom he may fear:
30:11. For I am with thee, saith the Lord, to save thee: for I will
utterly consume all the nations, among which I have scattered thee: but
I will not utterly consume thee: but I will chastise thee in judgment,
that thou mayst not seem to thyself innocent.
30:12. For thus saith the Lord: Thy bruise is incurable, thy wound is
very grievous.
30:13. There is none to judge thy judgment to bind it up: thou hast no
healing medicines.
30:14. All thy lovers have forgotten thee, and will not seek after thee:
for I have wounded thee with the wound of an enemy, with cruel
chastisement: by reason of the multitude of thy iniquities, thy sins are
hardened.
30:15. Why criest thou for thy affliction? thy sorrow is incurable: for
the multitude of thy iniquity, and for thy hardened sins I have done
these things to thee.
30:16. Therefore all they that devour thee, shall be devoured: and all
thy enemies shall be carried into captivity: and they that waste thee
shall be wasted, and all that prey upon thee will I give for a prey.
