Jeremiah 30:4-11
Legacy Standard Bible
4 Now these are the words which Yahweh spoke concerning Israel and concerning Judah:
5 “For thus says Yahweh,
‘We have heard a sound of (A)trembling,
Of dread, 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 loins, (B)as a woman in childbirth?
And why have all faces turned pale?
7 Alas! For that (C)day is great,
There is (D)none like it;
And it is the time of Jacob’s (E)distress,
But he will be (F)saved from it.
8 ‘And it will be in that day,’ declares Yahweh of hosts, ‘that I will (G)break his yoke from off your neck and will tear off your (H)bonds; and strangers will no longer (I)make [a]them their slaves. 9 But they shall be a slave to Yahweh their God and (J)David their king, whom I will raise up for them.
10 (K)Fear not, O Jacob My [b]servant,’ declares Yahweh,
‘And do not be dismayed, O Israel;
For behold, I will save you (L)from afar
And your seed from the land of their captivity.
And Jacob will return and will be (M)quiet and at ease,
And (N)no one will make him tremble.
11 For (O)I am with you,’ declares Yahweh, ‘to save you;
For I will (P)make a complete destruction of all the nations where I have scattered you,
Only I will (Q)not make a complete destruction of you.
But I will (R)chasten you justly
And will by no means leave you unpunished.’
