Jeremiah 30:4-11
New International Version
Jeremiah 30:4-11
New International Version
4 These are the words the Lord spoke concerning Israel and Judah: 5 “This is what the Lord says:
“‘Cries of fear(A) are heard—
terror, not peace.
6 Ask and see:
Can a man bear children?
Then why do I see every strong man
with his hands on his stomach like a woman in labor,(B)
every face turned deathly pale?(C)
7 How awful that day(D) will be!
No other will be like it.
It will be a time of trouble(E) for Jacob,
but he will be saved(F) out of it.
8 “‘In that day,’ declares the Lord Almighty,
‘I will break the yoke(G) off their necks
and will tear off their bonds;(H)
no longer will foreigners enslave them.(I)
9 Instead, they will serve the Lord their God
and David(J) their king,(K)
whom I will raise up for them.
10 “‘So do not be afraid,(L) Jacob my servant;(M)
do not be dismayed, Israel,’
declares the Lord.
‘I will surely save(N) you out of a distant place,
your descendants from the land of their exile.
Jacob will again have peace and security,(O)
and no one will make him afraid.(P)
11 I am with you(Q) and will save you,’
declares the Lord.
‘Though I completely destroy all the nations
among which I scatter you,
I will not completely destroy(R) you.
I will discipline(S) you but only in due measure;
I will not let you go entirely unpunished.’(T)

4 Now these are the words which the Lord spoke concerning Israel and Judah:
5 “For this is what the Lord says:
‘[a]I have heard a sound of (A)terror,
Of fear, and there is no peace.
6 Ask now, and see
If a male can give birth.
Why do I see every man
With his hands on his waist, (B)as a woman in childbirth?
And why have all faces turned pale?
7 Woe, for that (C)day is great,
There is (D)none like it;
And it is the time of Jacob’s (E)distress,
Yet he will be (F)saved from it.
8 ‘It shall come about on that day,’ declares the Lord of armies, ‘that I will (G)break his yoke from [b]their necks and will tear to pieces [c]their (H)restraints; and strangers will no longer (I)make [d]them their slaves. 9 But they shall serve the Lord their God and (J)David their king, whom I will raise up for them.
10 And (K)do not fear, Jacob My servant,’ declares the Lord,
‘And do not be dismayed, Israel;
For behold, I am going to save you (L)from far away,
And your [e]descendants from the land of their captivity.
And Jacob will return and be (M)at peace, without anxiety,
And (N)no one will make him afraid.
11 For (O)I am with you,’ declares the Lord, ‘to save you;
For I will completely (P)destroy all the nations where I have scattered you,
Only I will (Q)not destroy you completely.
But I will (R)discipline you fairly
And will by no means leave you unpunished.’

King James Version
Jeremiah 30:4-11
King James Version
4 And these are the words that the Lord spake concerning Israel and concerning Judah.
5 For thus saith the Lord; We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace.
6 Ask ye now, and see whether a man doth travail with child? wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness?
7 Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob's trouble, but he shall be saved out of it.
8 For it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and will burst thy bonds, and strangers shall no more serve themselves of him:
9 But they shall serve the Lord their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up unto them.
10 Therefore fear thou not, O my servant Jacob, saith the Lord; neither be dismayed, O Israel: for, lo, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be in rest, and be quiet, and none shall make him afraid.
11 For I am with thee, saith the Lord, to save thee: though I make a full end of all nations whither I have scattered thee, yet I will not make a full end of thee: but I will correct thee in measure, and will not leave thee altogether unpunished.
