Alas! for that day is great,
    so that no one is like it;
it is even 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 shall break his yoke from off their neck
and tear away their bonds,
    and strangers shall no longer make them their slaves.
But they shall serve the Lord their God
    and David their king,
    whom I will raise up for them.

“‘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)
Instead, they will serve the Lord their God
    and David(G) their king,(H)
    whom I will raise up for them.
