Jeremiah 30:4-11
Evangelical Heritage Version
4 These are words the Lord spoke concerning Israel and Judah. 5 This is what the Lord says.
“We have heard cries of fear,
of terror, and not of peace.”
6 Ask and see.
Can a man give birth to a child?
Why then do I see every strong man
with his hands on his belly like a woman in labor?
Why has every face turned pale?
7 That day is so terrible that there is none like it!
It will be a time of trouble for Jacob,
but he will be saved out of it.
8 In that day, declares the Lord of Armies,
I will break the yoke off your neck.
I will tear away your bonds.
Strangers will no longer enslave Israel,
9 but they will serve the Lord their God
and David their king, whom I will raise up for them.
10 Therefore do not be afraid, my servant Jacob, declares the Lord.
Do not be terrified, Israel,
because I will certainly save you from a faraway place.
I will save your descendants from the land where they are captive.
Jacob will return.
He will enjoy quiet and be at ease,
and no one will make him afraid.
11 I am with you to save you, declares the Lord.
I will completely destroy all the nations
among which I have scattered you,
but I will not completely destroy you.
I will discipline you with justice,[a]
yet I will not regard you as entirely innocent.
