Jeremiah 30:6-9

Restoration for Israel and Judah

6 Ask now, and see,
can a man bear a child?
k Why then do I see every man
with his hands on his stomach k like a woman in labor?
l Why has every face turned pale?
7 Alas! m That day is so great
n 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 o break his p yoke from off your neck, and I will o burst your bonds, q and foreigners shall no more make a servant of him. 1 9 But they shall serve the Lord their God and r David their king, whom I will raise up for them.
