Jeremiah 30:4-6

International Standard Version

⁵ “Indeed, this is what the Lord says:

‘We have heard a sound of terror
    and of fear, and there is no peace.
⁶ Ask about this and think about it—
    Can a man give birth to a child?
Why then do I see every strong man
    with his hands on his thighs
like a woman giving birth,
    and all their faces have turned pale?
