“The Lord says, ‘I have heard cries of much trouble, of being afraid, and there is no peace. Ask now and see, can a man give birth to a child? Why do I see every man with his hands on his body like a woman giving birth? Why have all faces turned white? That day will be very bad! There is none like it. It is the time of Jacob’s trouble, but he will be saved out of it.

“This is what the Lord says:

“‘Cries of fear(A) are heard—
    terror, not peace.
Ask and see:

    but he will be saved(F) out of it.
