Jeremiah 30:3

¹ This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD:

² “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘Write in a book all the words that I have spoken to you.

For behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will restore from captivity My people Israel and Judah, declares the LORD. I will restore them to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they will possess it.’”

⁴ These are the words that the LORD spoke concerning Israel and Judah.

⁵ Yes, this is what the LORD says: “A cry of panic is heard— a cry of terror, not of peace.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
