The Bible Is the FOUNDATION for Life

JEREMIAH 30:18 – 24

“Thus says the Lord:

‘Behold, I will bring back the captivity of Jacob’s tents,
And have mercy on his dwelling places;

The city shall be built upon its own mound,
And the palace shall remain according to its own plan.

Then out of them shall proceed thanksgiving
And the voice of those who make merry;
I will multiply them, and they shall not diminish;
I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small.

Their children also shall be as before,
And their congregation shall be established before Me;

And I will punish all who oppress them.

Their nobles shall be from among them,
And their governor shall come from their midst;
Then I will cause him to draw near,
And he shall approach Me;
For who is this who pledged his heart to approach Me?’ says the Lord.

‘You shall be My people,
And I will be your God.’”

Behold, the whirlwind of the Lord
Goes forth with fury,
A continuing whirlwind;

It will fall violently on the head of the wicked.

The fierce anger of the Lord will not return until He has done it,
And until He has performed the intents of His heart.

In the latter days you will consider it.
