Jeremiah 50:19Easy To Read Version“I will bring Israel back to his own fields.\par He will eat food that grows\par on Mount Carmel\par and in the land of Bashan.\par He will eat and be full.\par He will eat on the hills\par in the lands of Ephraim and Gilead.”\par See the chapter |
The desert will be full of growing flowers and will begin to show its happiness. It will seem like the desert is dancing with joy. The desert will be beautiful like the forest of Lebanon, {\cf2\super [327]} the hill of Carmel, {\cf2\super [328]} and Sharon Valley. {\cf2\super [329]} This will happen because all people will see the Glory of the Lord. {\cf2\super [330]} People will see the beauty of our God.
“So, Jacob {\cf2\super [237]} my servant, don’t be afraid!”\par This message is from the Lord.\par “Israel, don’t be afraid.\par I will save you from that faraway place.\par You are captives {\cf2\super [238]} in that faraway land,\par But I will save your descendants. {\cf2\super [239]} \par \{I will bring them back\} from that land.\par Jacob will have peace again.\par People will not bother Jacob.\par There will be no enemy to scare my people.\par
The Lord says:\par “Jacob’s {\cf2\super [243]} people are now in captivity.\par But they will come back.\par And I will have pity on Jacob’s houses.\par The city {\cf2\super [244]} is now only an empty hill\par covered with ruined buildings.\par But the city will be built again on its hill.\par And the king’s house will be built again\par where it should be.\par
“Jacob, {\cf2\super [370]} my servant, don’t be afraid.\par Don’t be scared, Israel.\par I will save you from those faraway places.\par I will save your children from the countries\par where they are captives. {\cf2\super [371]} \par Jacob will have peace and safety again.\par And no person will make him afraid.”\par
After a long time you will be called for duty. In the later years you will come into the land that has been healed from war. The people in that land were gathered from many nations and brought back to the mountains of Israel. In the past, the mountains of Israel had been destroyed again and again. But these people will have come back from those other nations. They all will have lived in safety.
