8 And 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 bands; and strangers shall no more serve themselves of him:ERV — Jeremiah 30:8

9 but they shall serve the LORD their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up unto them.ERV — Jeremiah 30:9

10 Therefore fear thou not, O Jacob my servant, 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 quiet and at ease, and none shall make him afraid.ERV — Jeremiah 30:10

11 For I am with thee, saith the LORD, to save thee: for I will make a full end of all the nations whither I have scattered thee, but I will not make a full end of thee; but I will correct thee with judgment, and will in no wise leave thee unpunished.ERV — Jeremiah 30:11

12 For thus saith the LORD, Thy hurt is incurable, and thy wound grievous.ERV — Jeremiah 30:12

13 There is none to plead thy cause, that thou mayest be bound up: thou hast no healing medicines.ERV — Jeremiah 30:13

14 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 greatness of thine iniquity, because thy sins were increased.ERV — Jeremiah 30:14

15 Why criest thou for thy hurt? thy pain is incurable: for the greatness of thine iniquity, because thy sins were increased, I have done these things unto thee.ERV — Jeremiah 30:15

16 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.ERV — Jeremiah 30:16
