The Restoration of Israel and Judah
(Ezekiel 28:25–26)
This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD: Jer 1:1-2Jer 26:15 “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘Write in a book all the words that I have spoken to you. Isa 30:8Jer 36:321Co 10:112Pe 1:21Hab 2:2-3Jer 36:2-4Jer 51:60-64Rev 1:11 For behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will restore from captivity 1My people Israel and Judah, declares the LORD. I will restore them to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they will possess it.’” Jer 29:14Jer 16:15Ezk 20:42Jer 30:18Jer 23:7-8Jer 32:44Jer 33:26Zep 3:20
These are the words that the LORD spoke concerning Israel and Judah. Yes, this is what the LORD says: Amo 8:10Isa 5:30Luk 19:41-44Zep 1:10-11Amo 5:16-18Isa 59:11Jer 25:36Jer 31:15-16
“A cry of panic is heard—
a cry of terror, not of peace.
Ask now, and see: Jer 4:31Jol 2:6Nam 2:10Isa 21:31Th 5:3Hos 13:13Jer 22:23Jer 6:24
Can a male give birth?
Why then do I see every man
with his hands on his stomach like a woman in labor
and every face turned pale?
How awful that day will be! Dan 12:1Mal 4:1Dan 9:12Zec 14:1-2Jol 2:11Mat 24:21-22Rom 11:26Mrk 13:19
None will be like it!
It is the time of Jacob’s distress,
but he will be saved out of it.
On that day, Nam 1:13Ezk 34:27Isa 9:4Jer 27:2Jer 28:10Isa 10:27Isa 14:25Jer 2:20
declares the LORD of Hosts,
I will break the yoke off their necks
and tear off their bonds,
and no longer will strangers enslave them.
Instead, they will serve the LORD their God Hos 3:5Isa 55:3-5Luk 1:69Act 13:34Ezk 37:23-25Act 13:23Act 2:30Ezk 34:23-24
and David their king,
whom I will raise up for them.
As for you, O Jacob My servant, do not be afraid, Jer 46:27-28Isa 43:5Jer 29:14Isa 44:2Hos 2:18Isa 35:9Jer 23:3Jer 23:8
declares the LORD,
and do not be dismayed,
O Israel.
For I will surely save you out of a distant place,
your descendants from the land of their captivity!
Jacob will return to quiet and ease,
with no one to make him afraid.
For I am with you to save you, Jer 1:19Jer 10:24Isa 8:10Jer 1:8Jer 4:272Ti 4:17-182Ti 4:22Act 18:10
declares the LORD.
Though I will completely destroy all the nations to which I have scattered you,
I will not completely destroy you.
Yet I will discipline you justly,
and will by no means leave you unpunished.”
For this is what the LORD says: Jer 15:18Jer 30:152Ch 36:16Jer 14:17Ezk 37:11Isa 1:5-6
“Your injury is incurable;
your wound is grievous.
There is no one to plead your cause, Jer 46:11Jer 8:22Jer 30:17Jer 33:61Jn 2:11Pe 2:241Ti 2:5-6Deu 32:39
no remedy for your sores,
no recovery for you.
All your lovers have forgotten you; Jer 5:6Job 30:21Lam 1:2Jer 22:20Jer 2:36Jer 22:22Jer 30:15Jer 4:30
they no longer seek you,
for I have struck you as an enemy would,
with the discipline of someone cruel,
because of your great iniquity
and your numerous sins.
Why do you cry out over your wound? Jer 30:14Jer 30:122Ch 36:14-17Ezk 16:1-63Ezk 20:1-49Ezk 22:1-23Ezr 9:13Ezr 9:6-7
Your pain has no cure!
Because of your great iniquity
and your numerous sins
I have done these things to you.
Nevertheless, all who devour you will be devoured, Jer 10:25Isa 33:1Exo 23:22Zec 2:8Rev 13:10Isa 14:2Jol 3:8Lam 4:21-22
and all your adversaries—every one of them—
will go off into exile.
Those who plundered you will be plundered,
and all who raided you will be raided.
But I will restore your health and heal your wounds, Psa 107:20Jer 33:61Pe 2:24Psa 103:3Exo 15:26Psa 23:3Hos 6:1Mal 4:2
declares the LORD,
because they call you an outcast,
Zion, for whom no one cares.”
This is what the LORD says: Hag 2:7-9Psa 102:13Jer 30:3Jer 33:7Jer 49:39Jer 23:3Zec 1:16Jer 46:27
“I will restore the fortunes of 2Jacob’s tents
and have compassion on his dwellings.
And the city will be rebuilt on her own ruins,
and the palace will stand in its rightful place.
Thanksgiving will proceed from them, Jer 33:22Isa 51:11Isa 60:22Ezk 36:37Isa 35:10Jer 31:12-13Jer 31:4Zec 10:8
a sound of celebration.
I will multiply them, and they will not be decreased;
I will honor them, and they will not be belittled.
Their children will be as in days of old, Jer 32:39Jer 2:3Jer 50:33-34Gen 17:5-9Isa 49:26Isa 51:22Psa 102:18Psa 102:28
and their congregation will be established before Me;
and I will punish all their oppressors.
Their leader will be one of their own, Num 16:5Ezk 34:23-24Act 5:31Ezk 37:24Mrk 11:9-101Jn 2:22Sa 7:13Deu 18:18
and their ruler will arise from their midst.
And I will bring him near, and he will approach Me,
for who would dare on his own to approach Me?”
declares the LORD.
“And you will be My people, Ezk 36:28Jer 24:7Jer 31:33Rev 21:3Zec 13:9Heb 8:10Jer 31:1Ezk 37:27
and I will be your God.”
Behold, the storm of the LORD Jer 23:19-20Jer 25:32Zec 9:14Pro 1:27Psa 58:9
has gone out with fury,
a whirlwind swirling down
upon the heads of the wicked.
The fierce anger of the LORD will not turn back Jer 23:20Hos 3:5Mic 4:1Ezk 38:16Jer 4:28Dan 10:14Dan 2:28Ezk 20:47-48
until He has fully accomplished the purposes of His heart.
In the days to come
you will understand this.
