24:030:003 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.
24:030:004 And these are the words that the lord
spake concerning Israel
and
concerning Judah.
24:030:005 For thus saith the lord; We have heard
a voice of trembling,
of
fear, and not of peace.
24:030:006 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?
24:030:007 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.
24:030:008 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:
24:030:009 But they shall serve the lord their
God, and David their king,
whom
I will raise up unto them.
24:030:010 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.
24:030:011 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
I will not make a full end of thee: but I will
correct
thee
in measure, and will not leave thee altogether
unpunished.
24:030:012 For thus saith the lord, Thy bruise
is incurable, and thy
wound
is grievous.
24:030:013 There is none to plead thy cause, that
thou mayest be bound
up:
thou hast no healing medicines.
24:030:014 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.
24:030:015 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.
24:030:016 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.
