Jeremiah 30:5-7

New International Reader's Version

“ ‘Cries of fear are heard.
    There is terror. There isn’t any peace.
⁶ Ask and see.
    Can a man give birth to children?
Then why do I see every strong man
    with his hands on his stomach?
Each of them is acting like a woman having a baby.
    Every face is as pale as death.
⁷ How awful that day will be!
    No other day will be like it.
It will be a time of trouble for the people of Jacob.
    But they will be saved out of it.
