[1]This is the word, that was maad of the Lord to Jeremye, [1]The wordH1697 that came to JeremiahH3414 from the LORDH3068, sayingH559,[H8800]
[2]and seide, The Lord God of Israel seith these thingis, and spekith, Write to thee in a book, alle these wordis whiche Y spak to thee. [2]Thus speakethH559[H8804] the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559[H8800], WriteH3789[H8798] thee all the wordsH1697 that I have spokenH1696[H8765] unto thee in a bookH5612.
[3]For lo! daies comen, seith the Lord, and Y schal turne the turnyng of my puple Israel and Juda, seith the Lord; and Y schal turne hem to the lond which Y yaf to the fadris of hem, and thei schulen haue it in possessioun. [3]For, lo, the daysH3117 comeH935[H8802], saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068, that I will bring againH7725[H8804] the captivityH7622 of my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 and JudahH3063, saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068: and I will cause them to returnH7725[H8689] to the landH776 that I gaveH5414[H8804] to their fathersH1, and they shall possessH3423 itH8804.
[4]And these ben the wordis, whiche the Lord spak to Israel, and to Juda, [4]And these are the wordsH1697 that the LORDH3068 spakeH1696[H8765] concerning IsraelH3478 and concerning JudahH3063.
[5]For the Lord seith these thingis, We herden a word of drede; inward drede is, and pees is not. [5]For thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068; We have heardH8085[H8804] a voiceH6963 of tremblingH2731, of fearH6343, and not of peaceH7965.
[6]Axe ye, and se, if a male berith child; whi therfor siy Y the hond of ech man on his leende, as of a womman trauelynge of child, and alle faces ben turned in to yelow colour? [6]AskH7592[H8798] ye now, and seeH7200[H8798] whether a manH2145 doth travail with childH3205[H8802]? wherefore do I seeH7200[H8804] every manH1397 with his handsH3027 on his loinsH2504, as a woman in travailH3205[H8802], and all facesH6440 are turnedH2015[H8738] into palenessH3420?
[7]Wo! for thilke day is greet, nether ony is lyk it; and it is a tyme of tribulacioun to Jacob, and of hym schal be sauyd. [7]AlasH1945! for that dayH3117 is greatH1419, so thatH369 none is like it: it is even the timeH6256 of Jacob'sH3290 troubleH6869; but he shall be savedH3467 out of itH8735.
[8]And it schal be, in that dai, seith the Lord of oostis, Y schal al to-breke the yok of hym fro thi necke, and Y schal breke hise boondis; and aliens schulen no more be lordis of it, [8]For it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, that I will breakH7665[H8799] his yokeH5923 from off thy neckH6677, and will burstH5423[H8762] thy bondsH4147, and strangersH2114[H8801] shall no more serveH5647 themselves of himH8799:
[9]but thei schulen serue to her Lord God, and to Dauid, her kyng, whom Y schal reyse for hem. [9]But they shall serveH5647[H8804] the LORDH3068 their GodH430, and DavidH1732 their kingH4428, whom I will raise upH6965 unto themH8686.
[10]Therfor, Jacob, my seruaunt, drede thou not, seith the Lord, and Israel, drede thou not; for lo! Y schal saue thee fro a fer lond, and thi seed fro the lond of the caitiftee of hem. And Jacob schal turne ayen, and schal reste, and schal flowe with alle goodis; and noon schal be whom he schal drede. [10]Therefore fearH3372[H8799] thou not, O my servantH5650 JacobH3290, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068; neither be dismayedH2865[H8735], O IsraelH3478: for, lo, I will saveH3467[H8688] thee from afarH7350, and thy seedH2233 from the landH776 of their captivityH7628; and JacobH3290 shall returnH7725[H8804], and shall be in restH8252[H8804], and be quietH7599[H8768], and none shall make him afraidH2729.[H8688]
[11]For Y am with thee, seith the Lord, for to saue thee. For Y schal make endyng in alle folkis, in whiche Y scateride thee; sotheli Y schal not make thee in to endyng, but Y schal chastise thee in doom, that thou be not seyn to thee to be gilteles. [11]For I am with thee, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068, to saveH3467[H8687] thee: though I makeH6213[H8799] a full endH3617 of all nationsH1471 whither I have scatteredH6327[H8689] thee, yet will I not makeH6213[H8799] a full endH3617 of thee: but I will correctH3256[H8765] thee in measureH4941, and will not leave thee altogetherH5352[H8763] unpunishedH5352.[H8762]
[12]For the Lord seith these thingis, Thi brekyng is vncurable, thi wounde is the worste. [12]For thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068, Thy bruiseH7667 is incurableH605[H8803], and thy woundH4347 is grievousH2470.[H8737]
[13]Noon is, that demeth thi doom to bynde togidere; the profit of heelyngis is not to thee. [13]There is none to pleadH1777[H8802] thy causeH1779, that thou mayest be bound upH4205: thou hast no healingH8585 medicinesH7499.
[14]Alle thi louyeris han foryete thee, thei schulen not seke thee; for Y haue smyte thee with the wounde of an enemy, with cruel chastisyng; for the multitude of thi wickidnesse, thi synnes ben maad hard. [14]All thy loversH157[H8764] have forgottenH7911[H8804] thee; they seekH1875[H8799] thee not; for I have woundedH5221[H8689] thee with the woundH4347 of an enemyH341[H8802], with the chastisementH4148 of a cruel oneH394, for the multitudeH7230 of thine iniquityH5771; because thy sinsH2403 were increasedH6105.[H8804]
[15]What criest thou on thi brekynge? thi sorewe is vncurable; for the multitude of thi wickidnesse, and for thin hard synnes, Y haue do these thingis to thee. [15]Why criestH2199[H8799] thou for thine afflictionH7667? thy sorrowH4341 is incurableH605[H8803] for the multitudeH7230 of thine iniquityH5771: because thy sinsH2403 were increasedH6105[H8804], I have doneH6213 these things unto theeH8804.
[16]Therfor alle that eeten thee, schulen be deuourid, and alle thin enemyes schulen be led in to caitifte; and thei that distrien thee, schulen be distried, and Y schal yyue alle thi robberis in to raueyn. [16]Therefore all they that devourH398[H8802] thee shall be devouredH398[H8735]; and all thine adversariesH6862, every one of them, shall goH3212[H8799] into captivityH7628; and they that spoilH7601[H8802][H8675][H8154][H8802] thee shall be a spoilH4933, and all that preyH962[H8802] upon thee will I giveH5414[H8799] for a preyH957.
[17]For Y schal heele perfitli thi wounde, and Y schal make thee hool of thi woundis, seith the Lord; for thou, Sion, thei clepeden thee cast out; this is it that hadde no sekere. [17]For I will restoreH5927[H8686] healthH724 unto thee, and I will healH7495[H8799] thee of thy woundsH4347, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068; because they calledH7121[H8804] thee an OutcastH5080[H8737], saying, This is ZionH6726, whom no man seeketh afterH1875.[H8802]
[18]The Lord seith these thingis, Lo! Y schal turne the turnyng of the tabernaclis of Jacob, and Y schal haue merci on the housis of hym; and the citee schal be bildid in his hiynesse, and the temple schal be foundid bi his ordre. [18]Thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068; Behold, I will bring againH7725[H8802] the captivityH7622 of Jacob'sH3290 tentsH168, and have mercyH7355[H8762] on his dwellingplacesH4908; and the cityH5892 shall be buildedH1129[H8738] upon her own heapH8510, and the palaceH759 shall remainH3427[H8799] after the manner thereofH4941.
[19]And heriyng and the vois of pleiers schal go out of hem, and Y schal multiplie hem, and thei schulen not be decreessid; and Y schal glorifie hem, and thei schulen not be maad thynne. [19]And out of them shall proceedH3318[H8804] thanksgivingH8426 and the voiceH6963 of them that make merryH7832[H8764]: and I will multiplyH7235[H8689] them, and they shall not be fewH4591[H8799]; I will also glorifyH3513[H8689] them, and they shall not be smallH6819.[H8799]
[20]And the sones therof schulen be as at the bigynnyng, and the cumpeny therof schal dwelle bifore me; and Y schal visite ayens alle that doon tribulacioun to it. [20]Their childrenH1121 also shall be as aforetimeH6924, and their congregationH5712 shall be establishedH3559[H8735] beforeH6440 me, and I will punishH6485[H8804] all that oppressH3905 themH8801.
[21]And the duyk therof schal be of it, and a prince schal be brouyt forth of the myddis therof; and Y schal applie hym, and he schal neiye to me; for who is this, that schal applie his herte, that he neiye to me? seith the Lord. [21]And their noblesH117 shall be of themselves, and their governorH4910[H8802] shall proceedH3318[H8799] from the midstH7130 of them; and I will cause him to draw nearH7126[H8689], and he shall approachH5066[H8738] unto me: for who is this that engagedH6148[H8804] his heartH3820 to approachH5066[H8800] unto me? saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068.
[22]And ye schulen be in to a puple to me, and Y schal be in to God to you. [22]And ye shall be my peopleH5971, and I will be your GodH430.
[23]Lo! the whirlewynd of the Lord, a strong veniaunce goynge out, a tempest fallynge doun, schal reste in the heed of wickid men. [23]Behold, the whirlwindH5591 of the LORDH3068 goeth forthH3318[H8804] with furyH2534, a continuingH1641[H8706] whirlwindH5591: it shall fall with painH2342[H8799] upon the headH7218 of the wickedH7563.
[24]The Lord schal not turne awey the ire of indignacioun, til he do, and fille the thouyt of his herte; in the laste of daies ye schulen vndurstonde tho thingis. [24]The fierceH2740 angerH639 of the LORDH3068 shall not returnH7725[H8799], until he have doneH6213[H8800] it, and until he have performedH6965[H8687] the intentsH4209 of his heartH3820: in the latterH319 daysH3117 ye shall considerH995 itH8709.
