The Lord proclaims:
I[a] hear screams of panic and terror;
    no one is safe.
Ask and see:
    Can men bear children?
Then why do I see every man
    bent over in pain,[b] as if he’s in labor?
    Why have all turned pale?
That day is awful, beyond words.
    A time of unspeakable pain
        for my people Jacob.
    But they will be delivered from it.

  2. Jeremiah 30:6 Or with his hands on his groin

“This is what the Lord says:

“‘Cries of fear(A) are heard—
    terror, not peace.
Ask and see:
    Can a man bear children?
Then why do I see every strong man
    with his hands on his stomach like a woman in labor,(B)
    every face turned deathly pale?(C)
How awful that day(D) will be!
    No other will be like it.
It will be a time of trouble(E) for Jacob,
    but he will be saved(F) out of it.
