Jeremiah 30:8-10

EasyEnglish Bible

⁸The Lord Almighty says this:

‘When that day comes,
    I will break the yoke that is around your necks.^[a]
    I will remove the ropes that tie your legs.
My people will no longer be slaves
    under the power of foreign people.
⁹Instead, they will serve the Lord their God.
    They will serve David's descendant.
    I will raise that man up to be their king.’

¹⁰The Lord says,

‘Do not be afraid, descendants of Jacob, my servants.
    People of Israel, do not be upset.
I will rescue you and your descendants from your enemies.
    I will bring you back from the land far away,
    where you are prisoners.
Jacob's descendants will return to their own land.
    They will live there safely in peace.
There will be no enemies to make them afraid.’
