Ask now, and see,
Whether a [a]man is ever in [b]labor with child?
So why do I see every man with his hands on his loins
(A)Like a woman in labor,
And all faces turned pale?
(B)Alas! For that day is great,
(C)So that none is like it;
And it is the time of Jacob’s trouble,
But he shall be saved out of it.

‘For it shall come to pass in that day,’
Says the Lord of hosts,
That I will break his yoke from your neck,
And will burst your bonds;
Foreigners shall no more enslave them.
