Jeremiah 30:4-11
English Standard Version
4 These are the words that the Lord spoke concerning (A)Israel and Judah:
5 “Thus says the Lord:
We have heard a cry of panic,
of terror, and no peace.
6 Ask now, and see,
can a man bear a child?
(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?
7 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.
8 “And it shall come to pass in that day, declares the Lord of hosts, that I will (G)break his (H)yoke from off your neck, and I will (I)burst your bonds, (J)and foreigners shall no more make a servant of him.[a] 9 But they shall serve the Lord their God and (K)David their king, whom I will raise up for them.
10 (L)“Then fear not, (M)O Jacob my servant, declares the Lord,
nor be dismayed, O Israel;
for behold, (N)I will save you from far away,
(O)and your offspring from the land of their captivity.
(P)Jacob shall return and have quiet and ease,
and none shall make him afraid.
11 (Q)For I am with you to save you,
declares the Lord;
(R)I will make a full end of all the nations
among whom I scattered you,
but of you I will not make a full end.
(S)I will (T)discipline you in just measure,
and I will by no means leave you unpunished.
