Jeremiah 30<\/strong><\/p>\n

  1 The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, \n<\/code><\/pre>\n
2 \u201cThus says the LORD, the God of Israel, \u2018Write all the words which I have spoken to you in a book.
\n3 \u2018For behold, days are coming,\u2019 declares the LORD, \u2018when I will restore the fortunes of My people Israel and Judah.\u2019 The LORD says, \u2018I will also bring them back to the land that I gave to their forefathers and they shall possess it.\u2019\u201d
\n      4 Now these are the words which the LORD spoke concerning Israel and concerning Judah:<\/p>\n
  5 \u201cFor thus says the LORD,\n        \u2018I have heard a sound of terror,\n        Of dread, and there is no peace.\n\n  6 \u2018Ask now, and see\n        If a male can give birth.\n        Why do I see every man\n        With his hands on his loins, as a woman in childbirth?\n        And why have all faces turned pale?\n\n  7 \u2018Alas! for that day is great,\n        There is none like it;\n        And it is the time of Jacob\u2019s distress,\n        But he will be saved from it.\n\n  8 \u2018It shall come about on that day,\u2019 declares the LORD of hosts, \u2018that I will break his yoke from off their neck and will tear off their bonds; and strangers will no longer make them their slaves. 9\u2018But they shall serve the LORD their God and David their king, whom I will raise up for them.\n\n  10 \u2018Fear not, O Jacob My servant,\u2019 declares the LORD,\n        \u2018And do not be dismayed, O Israel;\n        For behold, I will save you from afar\n        And your offspring from the land of their captivity.\n        And Jacob will return and will be quiet and at ease,\n        And no one will make him afraid.\n\n  11 \u2018For I am with you,\u2019 declares the LORD, \u2018to save you;\n        For I will destroy completely all the nations where I have scattered you,\n        Only I will not destroy you completely.\n        But I will chasten you justly\n        And will by no means leave you unpunished.\u2019\n\n  12 \u201cFor thus says the LORD,\n        \u2018Your wound is incurable\n        And your injury is serious.\n\n  13 \u2018There is no one to plead your cause;\n        No healing for your sore,\n        No recovery for you.\n\n  14 \u2018All your lovers have forgotten you,\n        They do not seek you;\n        For I have wounded you with the wound of an enemy,\n        With the punishment of a cruel one,\n        Because your iniquity is great\n        And your sins are numerous.\n\n  15 \u2018Why do you cry out over your injury?\n        Your pain is incurable.\n        Because your iniquity is great\n        And your sins are numerous,\n        I have done these things to you.\n\n  16 \u2018Therefore all who devour you will be devoured;\n        And all your adversaries, every one of them, will go into captivity;\n        And those who plunder you will be for plunder,\n        And all who prey upon you I will give for prey.\n\n  17 \u2018For I will restore you to health\n        And I will heal you of your wounds,\u2019 declares the LORD,\n        \u2018Because they have called you an outcast, saying:\n        \u201cIt is Zion; no one cares for her.\u201d\u2019\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
Restoration of Jacob<\/p>\n
18 \u201cThus says the LORD,
\n            \u2018Behold, I will restore the fortunes of the tents of Jacob
\n            And have compassion on his dwelling places;
\n            And the city will be rebuilt on its ruin,
\n            And the palace will stand on its rightful place.<\/p>\n
  19 \u2018From them will proceed thanksgiving\n        And the voice of those who celebrate;\n        And I will multiply them and they will not be diminished;\n        I will also honor them and they will not be insignificant.\n\n  20 \u2018Their children also will be as formerly,\n        And their congregation shall be established before Me;\n        And I will punish all their oppressors.\n\n  21 \u2018Their leader shall be one of them,\n        And their ruler shall come forth from their midst;\n        And I will bring him near and he shall approach Me;\n        For who would dare to risk his life to approach Me?\u2019 declares the LORD.\n\n  22 \u2018You shall be My people,\n        And I will be your God.\u2019\u201d\n\n  23 Behold, the tempest of the LORD!\n        Wrath has gone forth,\n        A sweeping tempest;\n        It will burst on the head of the wicked.\n\n  24 The fierce anger of the LORD will not turn back\n        Until He has performed and until He has accomplished\n        The intent of His heart;\n        In the latter days you will understand this\n<\/code><\/pre>\n

God Speaks Now to Job<\/p>\n
  1 Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind and said,\n  2 \u201cWho is this that darkens counsel\n        By words without knowledge?\n\n  3 \u201cNow gird up your loins like a man,\n        And I will ask you, and you instruct Me!\n\n  4 \u201cWhere were you when I laid the foundation of the earth?\n        Tell Me, if you have understanding,\n\n  5 Who set its measurements? Since you know.\n        Or who stretched the line on it?\n\n  6 \u201cOn what were its bases sunk?\n        Or who laid its cornerstone,\n\n  7 When the morning stars sang together\n        And all the sons of God shouted for joy?\n\n  8 \u201cOr who enclosed the sea with doors\n        When, bursting forth, it went out from the womb;\n\n  9 When I made a cloud its garment\n        And thick darkness its swaddling band,\n\n  10 And I placed boundaries on it\n        And set a bolt and doors,\n\n  11 And I said, \u2018Thus far you shall come, but no farther;\n        And here shall your proud waves stop\u2019?\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
God\u2019s Mighty Power<\/p>\n
12 \u201cHave you ever in your life commanded the morning,
\n            And caused the dawn to know its place,<\/p>\n
  13 That it might take hold of the ends of the earth,\n        And the wicked be shaken out of it?\n\n  14 \u201cIt is changed like clay under the seal;\n        And they stand forth like a garment.\n\n  15 \u201cFrom the wicked their light is withheld,\n        And the uplifted arm is broken.\n\n  16 \u201cHave you entered into the springs of the sea\n        Or walked in the recesses of the deep?\n\n  17 \u201cHave the gates of death been revealed to you,\n        Or have you seen the gates of deep darkness?\n\n  18 \u201cHave you understood the expanse of the earth?\n        Tell Me, if you know all this.\n\n  19 \u201cWhere is the way to the dwelling of light?\n        And darkness, where is its place,\n\n  20 That you may take it to its territory\n        And that you may discern the paths to its home?\n\n  21\u201cYou know, for you were born then,\n        And the number of your days is great!\n\n  22 \u201c<strong>Have you entered the storehouses of the snow<\/strong>,\n        <strong>Or have you seen the storehouses of the hail<\/strong>,\n\n  23 Which I have reserved for the time of distress,\n        For the day of war and battle?\n\n  24 \u201cWhere is the way that the light is divided,\n        Or the east wind scattered on the earth?\n\n  25 \u201cWho has cleft a channel for the flood,\n        Or a way for the thunderbolt,\n\n  26 To bring rain on a land without people,\n        On a desert without a man in it,\n\n  27 To satisfy the waste and desolate land\n        And to make the seeds of grass to sprout?\n\n  28 \u201cHas the rain a father?\n        Or who has begotten the drops of dew?\n\n  29 \u201cFrom whose womb has come the ice?\n        And the frost of heaven, who has given it birth?\n\n  30 \u201cWater becomes hard like stone,\n        And the surface of the deep is imprisoned.\n\n  31 \u201cCan you bind the chains of the Pleiades,\n        Or loose the cords of Orion?\n\n  32 \u201cCan you lead forth a constellation in its season,\n        And guide the Bear with her satellites?\n\n  33 \u201cDo you know the ordinances of the heavens,\n        Or fix their rule over the earth?\n\n  34 \u201cCan you lift up your voice to the clouds,\n        So that an abundance of water will cover you?\n\n  35 \u201cCan you send forth lightnings that they may go\n        And say to you, \u2018Here we are\u2019?\n\n  36 \u201cWho has put wisdom in the innermost being\n        Or given understanding to the mind?\n\n  37 \u201cWho can count the clouds by wisdom,\n        Or tip the water jars of the heavens,\n\n  38 When the dust hardens into a mass\n        And the clods stick together?\n\n  39 \u201cCan you hunt the prey for the lion,\n        Or satisfy the appetite of the young lions,\n\n  40 When they crouch in their dens\n        And lie in wait in their lair?\n\n  41 \u201cWho prepares for the raven its nourishment\n        When its young cry to God\n        And wander about without food?\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
