Jeremiah 30:10-17

“So people of Jacob, my servants, don’t be afraid. Israel, don’t be frightened,” says the LORD. “I will soon save you from that faraway place where you are captives. I will save your family from that land. The people of Jacob will be safe and have peace again; there will be no enemy to frighten them. I am with you and will save you,” says the LORD. “I will completely destroy all those nations where I scattered you, but I will not completely destroy you. I will punish you fairly, but I will still punish you.” This is what the LORD said: “You people have a wound that cannot be cured; your injury will not heal. There is no one to argue your case and no cure for your sores. So you will not be healed. All those nations who were your friends have forgotten you. They don’t care about you. I have hurt you as an enemy would. I punished you very hard, because your guilt was so great and your sins were so many. Why are you crying out about your injury? There is no cure for your pain. I did these things to you because of your great guilt, because of your many sins. But all those nations that destroyed you will now be destroyed. All your enemies will become captives in other lands. Those who stole from you will have their own things stolen. Those who took things from you in war will have their own things taken. I will bring back your health and heal your injuries,” says the LORD, “because other people forced you away. They said about you, ‘No one cares about Jerusalem!’ ”
