New Living Translation (NLT)
Jeremiah 30
18 This is what the LORD says: “When I bring Israel home again from captivity and restore their fortunes, Jerusalem will be rebuilt on its ruins, and the palace reconstructed as before.
19 There will be joy and songs of thanksgiving, and I will multiply my people, not diminish them; I will honor them, not despise them.
20 Their children will prosper as they did long ago. I will establish them as a nation before me, and I will punish anyone who hurts them.
21 They will have their own ruler again, and he will come from their own people. I will invite him to approach me,” says the LORD, “for who would dare to come unless invited?
22 You will be my people, and I will be your God.”
23 Look! The LORD’s anger bursts out like a storm, a driving wind that swirls down on the heads of the wicked.
24 The fierce anger of the LORD will not diminish until it has finished all he has planned. In the days to come you will understand all this.
Jeremiah 31
1 “In that day,” says the LORD, “I will be the God of all the families of Israel, and they will be my people.
2 This is what the LORD says: “Those who survive the coming destruction will find blessings even in the barren land, for I will give rest to the people of Israel.”
3 Long ago the LORD said to Israel: “I have loved you, my people, with an everlasting love. With unfailing love I have drawn you to myself.
4 I will rebuild you, my virgin Israel. You will again be happy and dance merrily with your tambourines.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
