Jeremiah 30:5-7

New Catholic Bible

⁵ Thus says the Lord:
    We have heard a cry of panic,
    of terror, not of peace.
⁶ Inquire now and see:
    Can a man bear a child?
Why then do I see every man grasping his loins
    like a woman in labor?
    Why has every face turned pale?
⁷ How frightening that day will be!
    There will be none like it.
It will be a time of anguish for Jacob,
    although he will be saved from it.
