1
The word that came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying,
2
Thus speaketh Jehovah, the God of Israel, saying, Write thee all the words that I have spoken unto thee in a book.
3
For, lo, the days come, saith Jehovah, that I will turn again the captivity of my people Israel and Judah, saith Jehovah; and I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it.
4
And these are the words that Jehovah spake concerning Israel and concerning Judah.
5
For thus saith Jehovah: We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace.
