Jeremiah 30:3-10

3 aFor behold, days are coming, declares the Lord, bwhen I will restore cthe fortunes of my people, dIsrael and Judah, says the Lord, eand I will bring them back to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall take possession of it.”

4These are the words that the Lord spoke concerning fIsrael and Judah:

5 Thus says the Lord:
We have heard a cry of panic,
of terror, and no peace.
6Ask now, and see,
can a man bear a child?
gWhy then do I see every man
with his hands on his stomach hlike a woman in labor?
iWhy has every face turned pale?
7Alas! jThat day is so great
kthere 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 lbreak his myoke from off your neck, and I will nburst your bonds, oand foreigners shall no more make a servant of him.
Or serve him
9But they shall serve the Lord their God and qDavid their king, whom I will raise up for them.

10 r“Then fear not, sO Jacob my servant, declares the Lord,
nor be dismayed, O Israel;
for behold, tI will save you from far away,
uand your offspring from the land of their captivity.
vJacob shall return and have quiet and ease,
and none shall make him afraid.
