These are the words that the Lord spoke concerning (A)Israel and Judah:

“Thus says the Lord:
We have heard a cry of panic,
    of terror, and no peace.
Ask now, and see,

(B)Why then do I see every man
    with his hands on his stomach (C)like a woman in labor?
    (D)Why has every face turned pale?
Alas! (E)That day is so great
    (F)there is none like it;
it is a time of distress for Jacob;
    yet he shall be saved out of it.
