Jeremiah 30:18 in context

Jeremiah 30:15–21

15

Why do you cry over your injury?

Your pain is incurable.

For the greatness of your iniquity,

because your sins have increased,

I have done these things to you.

16

Therefore all those who devour you will be devoured.

All your adversaries, everyone of them, will go into captivity.

Those who plunder you will be plunder.

I will make all who prey on you become prey.

17

For I will restore health to you,

and I will heal you of your wounds,” says the LORD,

“because they have called you an outcast,

saying, ‘It is Zion, whom no man seeks after.’”

The LORD says:

“Behold, I will reverse the captivity of Jacob’s tents,

and have compassion on his dwelling places.

The city will be built on its own hill,

and the palace will be inhabited in its own place.

19

Thanksgiving will proceed out of them

with the voice of those who make merry.

I will multiply them,

and they will not be few;

I will also glorify them,

and they will not be small.

20

Their children also will be as before,

and their congregation will be established before me.

I will punish all who oppress them.

21

Their prince will be one of them,

and their ruler will proceed from among them.

I will cause him to draw near,

and he will approach me;

for who is he who has had boldness to approach me?” says the LORD.
