Jeremiah 30:5-7

EasyEnglish Bible

‘People are shouting because they are afraid!
    Listen to them!
    There is no peace anywhere.
⁶ Think carefully about this.
    Do men ever give birth to babies?
So why are these strong men weak with pain?
    They seem like a woman who is giving birth.
All their faces have become white with fear.
⁷ It will be a time of terrible trouble,
    worse than anything that has happened before.
It will be a time of great trouble for Jacob's descendants.^[a]
    But I will rescue them from their trouble.’
