This will be a ·terrible [L great] 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.”

The Lord ·All-Powerful [Almighty; of Heaven’s Armies; T of hosts] says, “·At that time [L In that day]
    I will break the yoke from ·their [or your] necks
and ·tear [snap] off the ropes that hold ·them [or you].
    ·Foreign people [L Strangers] will never again make my people slaves.
They will serve the Lord their God
    and David their king,
whom I will ·send to [L raise up for] them.
