Jeremiah

¹The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying, ²Thus speaketh the Lord, the God of Israel, saying, Write thee all the words that I have spoken unto thee in a book. ³For, lo, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will turn again the captivity of my people Israel and Judah, saith the Lord: and I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it. ⁴And these are the words that the Lord spake concerning Israel and concerning Judah. ⁵For thus saith the Lord: We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace. ⁶Ask ye now, and see whether a man doth travail with child: wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness?
