Jeremiah 30:5-7

Expanded Bible

“We hear ·people crying from [^Lthe voice/sound of] fear.
    ·They are afraid; there [^L…and of dread, and there] is no peace.
⁶ Ask this question, and ·consider it [^Lsee]:
    ·A man cannot [^LCan a man…?] have a baby.
So why do I see every strong man
    ·holding his stomach in pain [^Lwith his hands on his side/loins] like a woman ·having a baby [in labor; 13:21; 22:23; 49:24; 50:43; Is. 21:2–3; 26:16–21; 66:7–14]?
    Why is everyone’s face turning white [^Clike a dead or frightened person’s face]?
⁷ This will be a ·terrible [^Lgreat] day!
    There will never be another time like this.
This is a time of ·great trouble [distress] for the people of Jacob,
    but they will be ·saved [rescued] from it.”
