¶ The .xxx. Chapter. ¶ The retourne of the people from Babilon. God by hys chastenyng sheweth that the people is synfull. The destruccyon of the enemyes of Israel.

A   These are the wordes, that the Lord shewethe vnto Ieremye, sayinge: Thus sayth the Lorde God of Israel: note Wryte vp diligently all the wordes, that I haue spoken vnto the, in a booke. For lo, the tyme commeth, sayth the Lorde, that I wyll bryng agayne the presoners of my people of Israel and Iuda, sayth the Lord. For I wyll restore them vnto the lande, that I gaue to theyr fathers, ∧ they shall haue it in possession.

Agayne, these wordes spake the Lorde, concerning Israel and Iuda: Thus sayth þe; Lorde: We haue hearde a terrible crye, feare and disquietnes. For what elles do thys signifye, that I se? Namely, that all stronge men smyte, euery man hys hande vpon hys loynes, note as a wom&abar; in the paine of her trauayle. Who euer sawe a man trauayle with childe? Enquyre therafter, and se. Yee, all their faces are maruelous pale.

B   Alas for this daye, which is so dredefull that none maye be likened vnto it: and alas for the tyme of Iacobs trouble, fr&obar; þe; which he shall yet be delyuered. For in that daye, sayth the Lorde, I will take his yocke from of thy neck, ∧ breake thy bondes: And strangers shall nomore serue hym: but they shall do seruice vnto God theyr Lorde, and to &club; note Dauid theyr kynge, whom I wyll rayse vp vnto them. noteAnd as for the, O my seruaunt Iacob, feare not, sayth the Lorde, and be not afraied, O Israel. For lo, I wyll helpe the also from farre, and thy seed from the lande of their captiuytie.

And Iacob shall turne agayne, he shalbe in rest, and haue a prosperous lyfe, ∧ no man shall make him afrayed. For I am with the to helpe the, sayth the Lorde. noteAnd though

-- --

I shall destroie all the people, am&obar;ge whom I haue scatered the, yet wyll I not destroye the, but correcte the, note and that with discretion. For I knowe that thou art in no wyse note without faute. Therfore thus sayth the Lord: Thy brosinges are peryllous, ∧ thy woundes ready to cast þe; in to sicknes. C   Ther is no man to medle with thy cause, or to lay plaster vpon the, or to bynde vp thy woundes: there maye no man helpe the.

All thy louers haue forgott&ebar; the, and care nothynge for the. For I haue geuen the a cruell stroke, and chastened the roughly: and that for the multitude of thy mysdedes: for thy synnes haue had the ouer hande. Why makest thou mone for thy harme? in dede, thou art sore wounded ∧ in ieopardye: note but for the multitude of thy mysdedes and synnes, I haue done this vnto the.

noteAnd therfore, all they that deuoure the, shalbe deuoured: and all thyne enemies shalbe led into captiuite. All they that make the wast, shalbe wasted them selues, ∧ all those that robbe the, wyll I make also to be robbed. For I wyll geue the thy health agayne and make thy woundes whole, sayeth the Lorde: because they reuyled the, as one cast awaye and despised, Syon (sayde they) is she whom no man regardeth.

D   For thus sayth the Lorde: Beholde, note I will bring agayne the captiuytie of Iacobs tentes, and defende his dwelling place. The citye shalbe buylded in her olde estate, and þe; houses shall haue their ryght foundacion, And out of them shall go th&abar;kesgeuing, and the voyce of ioye.

I will multiplye them, and they shall not be fewe. I shall endue them with honoure, ∧ no man shall subdue them. Theyr chyldren shalbe as a fore tyme, and their c&obar;gregacion shall c&obar;tinue in my syght. And all those that vexe them, wyll I vyset.

noteA captayne also shall come of them: and a prynce shall springe out from the myddest of them: hym will I chal&ebar;ge to my selfe, and he shall come vnto me. noteFor what is he, þt; geueth ouer his hert to come vnto me? sayth the Lorde. noteYe shalbe my people also, and I wilbe youre God. noteBeholde, on the other syde shall the wrath of the Lorde breake out as a stormy water as a mighty whirle winde: and shall fall vpon the heades of the vngodly.

The terrible displeasure of the Lorde shall not leaue of, vntyll he haue done, and perfourmed the intent of hys herte, note which in the latter dayes ye shall vnderstande. At the same tyme, sayth the Lord, shall I be the God of all the generatyons of Israel, and they shalbe my people.
