Gen Z: Jeremiah 30
1Yo, the word dropped to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,
2God of Israel said, "Write down all the vibes I told you in a book, fr."
3For real, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I’ll bring back my peeps Israel and Judah, and they’ll return to the land I gave their fam, and it’s gonna be lit.
4And these are the words the Lord dropped about Israel and Judah.
5The Lord says, "We heard a vibe of trembling, fear, and definitely not peace, no cap."
6Ask yourself, does a man go through pregnancy? Why do I see guys holding their stomachs like women in labor, all their faces looking pale?
7Man, that day is gonna be wild, nothing like it; it’s the time of Jacob’s trouble, but he’s gonna be saved, periodt.
8For real, on that day, the Lord of hosts says, “I’ll break the yoke off your neck and bust your bonds; no more will strangers mess with him.”
9They’ll serve the Lord their God, and David their king, whom I’m gonna raise up for them.
10So don’t be scared, my dude Jacob, says the Lord; don’t sweat it, Israel: I got you from far away, and your fam from captivity; Jacob will chill, rest, and not be afraid, for real.
11I’m with you, says the Lord, to save you; even though I’ll wrap up all nations where I scattered you, I won’t fully end you; I’ll correct you, but it won’t be savage.
12The Lord says, "Your bruise is unhealable, and your wound is rough."
13No one’s here to back you up, you can’t even get healed, fam.
14All your homies forgot you; they’re not looking for you; I’ve hurt you like an enemy, with the punishment of a savage, ‘cause your sins piled up.
15Why you crying over your struggle? Your sorrow is unhealable ‘cause your sins stacked up; I did this to you, no cap.
16So all who try to eat you up will get devoured; all your haters gonna be taken captive; those who spoil you will be spoiled, and I’ll make sure all who prey on you get preyed on.
17I’ll bring back your health, and I’ll heal your wounds, says the Lord; they called you an Outcast, saying, “This is Zion, no one wants her.”
18The Lord says, “I’m bringing back Jacob’s tents, showing mercy on his homes; the city will be built on its pile, and the palace will stand strong.”
19From them, there’ll be thanks and joy; I’ll multiply them, and they won’t be few; I’ll glorify them, and they won’t be small, periodt.
20Their kids will be like before, and their crew will be set before me, and I’ll punish everyone who oppresses them.
21Their leaders will come from among them, and I’ll make him close; who’s the one that’s vibing to come close to me? says the Lord.
22Y’all will be my people, and I’ll be your God, fr.
23Check it, the whirlwind of the Lord is coming in hot, a wild whirlwind: it’s gonna hit hard on the heads of the wicked.
24The fierce anger of the Lord won’t chill until it’s done, and until He pulls off what’s in His heart; in the later days, you’ll see it.
