Ask now, and see,
    can a man bear a child?
Why then do I see every man
    with his hands on his loins like a woman in labour?
    Why has every face turned pale?
Alas! that day is so great
    there is none like it;
it is a time of distress for Jacob;
    yet he shall be rescued from it.

On that day, says the Lord of hosts, I will break the yoke from off his[a] neck, and I will burst his[b] bonds, and strangers shall no more make a servant of him.
