Now these are the words which the Lord spoke concerning Israel and Judah:

“For this is what the Lord says:

[a]I have heard a sound of (A)terror,
Of fear, and there is no peace.
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?
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.

‘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. 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.’

Now these are the words that the Lord spoke concerning Israel and Judah.

“For thus says the Lord:

‘We have heard a voice of trembling,
Of [a]fear, and not of peace.
Ask now, and see,
Whether a [b]man is ever in [c]labor with child?
So why do I see every man with his hands on his loins
(A)Like a woman in labor,
And all faces turned pale?
(B)Alas! For that day is great,
(C)So that none is like it;
And it is the time of Jacob’s trouble,
But he shall be saved out of it.

‘For it shall come to pass in that day,’
Says the Lord of hosts,
That I will break his yoke from your neck,
And will burst your bonds;
Foreigners shall no more enslave them.
But they shall serve the Lord their God,
And (D)David their king,
Whom I will (E)raise up for them.

10 ‘Therefore (F)do not fear, O My servant Jacob,’ says the Lord,
‘Nor be dismayed, O Israel;
For behold, I will save you from afar,
And your seed (G)from the land of their captivity.
Jacob shall return, have rest and be quiet,
And no one shall make him afraid.
11 For I am with (H)you,’ says the Lord, ‘to save you;
(I)Though I make a full end of all nations where I have scattered you,
(J)Yet I will not make a complete end of you.
But I will correct you (K)in justice,
And will not let you go altogether unpunished.’
