Write it in a book
The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD: This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: Write all the words I've spoken to you in a book. Because look: the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I'll bring my people Israel and Judah back from where they've been taken. I'll bring them back to the land I gave their fathers, and they'll own it. And these are the words the LORD spoke about Israel and about Judah. This is what the LORD says: We've heard a voice of shaking — terror, and no peace. Ask now and have a look: does a man give birth? So why do I see every strong man with his hands on his belly like a woman in labour, and every face turned pale? That day is a bad one — there's none like it. It's the time of Jacob's trouble, but he'll be saved out of it. And on that day, declares the LORD Almighty, I'll break his yoke off your neck and snap your bonds. Strangers won't make a servant of him any more. They'll serve the LORD their God and David their king, the one I'll raise up for them. So don't be afraid, Jacob my servant, declares the LORD, and don't fall apart, Israel. Because look: I'll save you from far off, and your offspring from the land they've been taken to. Jacob will come back and be quiet and at ease, and nobody will frighten him. Because I'm with you, declares the LORD, to save you. Though I destroy all the nations I've scattered you among, I won't finish you off. But I'll correct you in measure, and I won't let you off completely.

The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, Thus speaketh the LORD God of Israel, saying, Write thee all the words that I have spoken unto thee in a book. For, lo, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will bring again the captivity of my people Israel and Judah, saith the LORD: and I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it. And these are the words that the LORD spake concerning Israel and concerning Judah. For thus saith the LORD; We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace. Ask ye now, and see whether a man doth travail with child? wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness? Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble, but he shall be saved out of it. For 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 thy bonds, and strangers shall no more serve themselves of him: But they shall serve the LORD their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up unto them. Therefore fear thou not, O my servant Jacob, saith the LORD; neither be dismayed, O Israel: for, lo, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be in rest, and be quiet, and none shall make him afraid. For I am with thee, saith the LORD, to save thee: though I make a full end of all nations whither I have scattered thee, yet will I not make a full end of thee: but I will correct thee in measure, and will not leave thee altogether unpunished.

I'll heal your wounds
Because this is what the LORD says: Your fracture can't be mended and your wound is bad. There's nobody to take up your case so you'd be bound up. You've got no healing medicine. Everyone who loved you has forgotten you. They don't look for you. Because I've struck you like an enemy strikes, with the setting straight of a cruel one, for the size of your wrongdoing, because your sins were many. Why do you cry out over your fracture? Your pain can't be mended. I've done these things to you for the size of your wrongdoing, because your sins were many. So everyone who eats you will be eaten, and every one of your enemies, the whole lot of them, will go into captivity. Those who looted you will be looted, and everyone who preyed on you I'll hand over as prey. “I will restore health to you and heal you of your wounds,” says the LORD, “because they called you an Outcast, saying, ‘This is Zion, whom no one seeks after.’” This is what the LORD says: Look: I'll bring back the tents of Jacob and have mercy on his homes. And the city will be built on its own mound, and the palace will stand where it always did. And out of them will come thanks and the sound of celebration. I'll make them many, and they won't get fewer. I'll give them honour, and they won't be counted small. Their children will be like they used to be, and their gathering will be set up before me. And I'll deal with everyone who presses them hard. And their leader will be one of their own, and their ruler will come out of them. I'll bring him near and he'll come close to me. Because who'd risk his own heart to come close to me? declares the LORD. And you'll be my people, and I'll be your God. Look: a whirlwind of the LORD has gone out in fury, a sweeping whirlwind. It'll burst on the head of the wicked. The heat of the LORD's anger won't turn back until he's done it and carried out the plans of his heart. In the days to come you'll understand it.

This is what the Lord says: Look — I'll bring back the tents of Jacob and have mercy on his homes. And the town will be built on its own mound, and the palace will stand where it always did. And out of them will come thanks and the sound of people having a good time. I'll make them many, and they won't get fewer. I'll give them weight, and they won't be counted small. Their children will be like they used to be, and their gathering will be set up in front of me. And I'll deal with everyone who presses them hard. And their leader will be one of their own, and their ruler will come out of the middle of them. I'll bring him near and he'll come close to me. Because who'd risk his own heart to come close to me? declares the Lord. And you'll be my people, and I'll be your God. Look — a whirlwind of the Lord has gone out in fury, a sweeping whirlwind.

For thus saith the LORD, Thy bruise is incurable, and thy wound is grievous. There is none to plead thy cause, that thou mayest be bound up: thou hast no healing medicines. All thy lovers have forgotten thee; they seek thee not; for I have wounded thee with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel one, for the multitude of thine iniquity; because thy sins were increased. Why criest thou for thine affliction? thy sorrow is incurable for the multitude of thine iniquity: because thy sins were increased, I have done these things unto thee. Therefore all they that devour thee shall be devoured; and all thine adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity; and they that spoil thee shall be a spoil, and all that prey upon thee will I give for a prey. For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the LORD; because they called thee an Outcast, saying, This is Zion, whom no man seeketh after. Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will bring again the captivity of Jacob’s tents, and have mercy on his dwellingplaces; and the city shall be builded upon her own heap, and the palace shall remain after the manner thereof. And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of them that make merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be few; I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small. Their children also shall be as aforetime, and their congregation shall be established before me, and I will punish all that oppress them. And their nobles shall be of themselves, and their governor shall proceed from the midst of them; and I will cause him to draw near, and he shall approach unto me: for who is this that engaged his heart to approach unto me? saith the LORD. And ye shall be my people, and I will be your God. Behold, the whirlwind of the LORD goeth forth with fury, a continuing whirlwind: it shall fall with pain upon the head of the wicked. The fierce anger of the LORD shall not return, until he have done it, and until he have performed the intents of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it.
