Jeremiah 30:4-11
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
4 These are the words that the Lord spoke concerning Israel and Judah:
5 Thus says the Lord:
We have heard a cry of panic,
of terror, and no peace.(A)
6 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 labor?
Why has every face turned pale?(B)
7 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.(C)
8 On that day, says the Lord of hosts, I will break his yoke from off your neck, and I will burst your bonds, and strangers shall no more make a servant of him.(D) 9 But they shall serve the Lord their God and David their king, whom I will raise up for them.(E)
10 But as for you, have no fear, my servant Jacob, says the Lord,
and do not be dismayed, O Israel,
for I am going to save you from far away
and your offspring from the land of their captivity.
Jacob shall return and have quiet and ease,
and no one shall make him afraid.(F)
11 For I am with you, says the Lord, to save you;
I will make an end of all the nations
among which I scattered you,
but of you I will not make an end.
I will chastise you in just measure,
and I will by no means leave you unpunished.(G)

Jeremiah 30:4-11
New Living Translation
4 This is the message the Lord gave concerning Israel and Judah. 5 This is what the Lord says:
“I hear cries of fear;
there is terror and no peace.
6 Now let me ask you a question:
Do men give birth to babies?
Then why do they stand there, ashen-faced,
hands pressed against their sides
like a woman in labor?
7 In all history there has never been such a time of terror.
It will be a time of trouble for my people Israel.[a]
Yet in the end they will be saved!
8 For in that day,”
says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies,
“I will break the yoke from their necks
and snap their chains.
Foreigners will no longer be their masters.
9 For my people will serve the Lord their God
and their king descended from David—
the king I will raise up for them.
10 “So do not be afraid, Jacob, my servant;
do not be dismayed, Israel,”
says the Lord.
“For I will bring you home again from distant lands,
and your children will return from their exile.
Israel will return to a life of peace and quiet,
and no one will terrorize them.
11 For I am with you and will save you,”
says the Lord.
“I will completely destroy the nations where I have scattered you,
but I will not completely destroy you.
I will discipline you, but with justice;
I cannot let you go unpunished.”

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)
