Jeremiah

Jeremiah 30:5–7

⁵Yes, this is what the LORD says:

“A cry of panic is heard —

a cry of terror, not of peace.

⁶Ask now, and see:

Can a male give birth?

Why then do I see every man

with his hands on his stomach like a woman in labor

and every face turned pale?

⁷How awful that day will be!

None will be like it!

It is the time of Jacob’s distress,

but he will be saved out of it.
