Deliverance from Captivity Promised
1 The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,
2 “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, ‘(A)Write all the words which I have spoken to you in a book.
3 For behold, (B)days are coming,’ declares the Lord, ‘when I will (C)restore the (a)fortunes of My people (D)Israel and Judah.’ The Lord says, ‘I will also (E)bring them back to the land that I gave to their forefathers and they shall possess it.’”
5 “For thus says the Lord,
6
‘Ask now, and see
If a male can give birth.
Why do I see every man
With his hands on his loins, (G)as a woman in childbirth?
And why have all faces turned pale?

If a male can give birth.

And why have all faces turned pale?
8 ‘It shall come about on that day,’ declares the Lord of hosts, ‘that I will (L)break his yoke from off (c)their neck and will tear off (d)their (M)bonds; and strangers will no longer (N)make (e)them their slaves.
9 But they shall serve the Lord their God and (O)David their king, whom I will raise up for them.

‘Why do you cry out over your injury?
Your pain is incurable.
Because your iniquity is great
And your sins are numerous,
I have done these things to you.
