Jeremiah 30:5-9

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?
^aWhy then do I see every man
with his hands on his stomach ^blike a woman in labor?
^cWhy has every face turned pale?
7 Alas! ^dThat day is so great
^ethere 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 ^fbreak his ^gyoke from off your neck, and I will ^hburst your bonds, ⁱand foreigners shall no more make a servant of him. ^{▼▼Or serve him} 9 But they shall serve the Lord their God and ^kDavid their king, whom I will raise up for them.
