⁷ How awful that day^(A) will be!
    No other will be like it.
It will be a time of trouble^(B) for Jacob,
    but he will be saved^(C) out of it.

⁸ “‘In that day,’ declares the Lord Almighty,
    ‘I will break the yoke^(D) off their necks
and will tear off their bonds;^(E)
    no longer will foreigners enslave them.^(F)
9 Instead, they will serve the Lord their God
    and David^(G) their king,^(H)
    whom I will raise up for them.
