Jeremiah 30:4-7
New American Standard Bible
King James Version
Chapter 30
4And these are the words that the LORD spake concerning Israel and concerning Judah. 5For thus saith the LORD; We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace. 6Ask ye now, and see whether a man doth travail with child? wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness? 7Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob's trouble; but he shall be saved out of it.Christian Standard Bible
5This is what the Lord says: We have heard a cry of terror, of dread--there is no peace.
6Ask and see whether a male can 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! There will be no other like it! It will be a time of trouble for Jacob, but he will be saved out of it.
New Living Translation
5This is what the Lord says: 'I hear cries of fear; there is terror and no peace.
6Now let me ask you a question: Do men give birth to babies? Then why do they stand there, ashen-faced, hands pressed against their sides like a woman in labor?
7In all history there has never been such a time of terror. It will be a time of trouble for my people Israel. Yet in the end they will be saved!
English Standard Version
5“Thus says the LORD: We have heard a cry of panic, of terror, and no peace.
6Ask now, and see, can a man bear a child? Why then do I see every man with his hands on his stomach like a woman in labor? Why has every face turned pale?
7Alas! That day is so great there is none like it; it is a time of distress for Jacob; yet he shall be saved out of it.
