Jeremiah 30:4-6

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

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?
Why then do I see every man
    with his hands on his loins like a woman in labour?
    Why has every face turned pale?
