Jeremiah 30:6-8

Living Bible

⁶ Do men give birth? Then why do they stand there, ashen-faced, hands pressed against their sides like women in labor?”

⁷ Alas, in all history when has there ever been a time of terror such as in that coming day? It is a time of trouble for my people—for Jacob—such as they have never known before. Yet God will rescue them! ⁸ For on that day, says the Lord Almighty, I will break the yoke from their necks and snap their chains, and foreigners shall no longer be their masters!
