Jeremiah 30:1-3

Jacob's Trouble and the Promise of Restoration

The chapter moves from the command to write restoration words, to the promise of return for Israel and Judah, to the terror of Jacob's trouble, to deliverance from foreign yoke, to healing of the incurable wound, and finally to covenant restoration under a ruler who draws near to the LORD.

1This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD:

2“This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘Write in a book all the words that I have spoken to you.

3For behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will restore from captivity My people Israel and Judah, declares the LORD. I will restore them to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they will possess it.’”
