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.

Holman Christian Standard Bible
4 These are the words the Lord spoke to Israel and Judah. 5 Yes, this is what the Lord says:
We have heard a cry of terror,
of dread—there is no peace.
6 Ask and see
whether a male can give birth.
Why then do I see every man
with his hands on his stomach like a woman in labor
and every face turned pale?
7 How awful that day will be!(A)
There will be none like it!(B)
It will be a time of trouble for Jacob,
but he will be delivered out of it.
8 “On that day”—this is the declaration of the Lord of Hosts—“I will break his yoke from your neck(C) and tear off your chains(D) so strangers will never again enslave him.(E) 9 They will serve the Lord their God and I will raise up David their king for them.”(F)
10 As for you, My servant Jacob,(G)
do not be afraid—
this is the Lord’s declaration—
and do not be dismayed, Israel,
for without fail I will save you from far away,
your descendants, from the land of their captivity!
Jacob will return and have calm and quiet
with no one to frighten him.(H)
11 For I will be with you—
this is the Lord’s declaration—
to save you!(I)
I will bring destruction on all the nations
where I have scattered you;
however, I will not bring destruction on you.
I will discipline you justly,
and I will by no means leave you unpunished.(J)
