Jeremiah 30:5-7
EasyEnglish Bible
5 The Lord said,
‘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.’

Jeremiah 30:5-7
New International Version
5 “This is what the Lord says:
“‘Cries of fear(A) are heard—
terror, not peace.
6 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)
7 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.
