Jeremiah 30:4-11
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)
