Jeremiah 30:6-10
New King James Version
6 Ask now, and see,
Whether a [a]man is ever in [b]labor with child?
So why do I see every man with his hands on his loins
(A)Like a woman in labor,
And all faces turned pale?
7 (B)Alas! For that day is great,
(C)So that none is like it;
And it is the time of Jacob’s trouble,
But he shall be saved out of it.
8 ‘For it shall come to pass in that day,’
Says the Lord of hosts,
‘That I will break his yoke from your neck,
And will burst your bonds;
Foreigners shall no more enslave them.
9 But they shall serve the Lord their God,
And (D)David their king,
Whom I will (E)raise up for them.
10 ‘Therefore (F)do not fear, O My servant Jacob,’ says the Lord,
‘Nor be dismayed, O Israel;
For behold, I will save you from afar,
And your seed (G)from the land of their captivity.
Jacob shall return, have rest and be quiet,
And no one shall make him afraid.
