Context of Jeremiah 30:7

5for thus saith Jehovah: We have heard a voice of trembling, there is fear, and no peace. 6Ask ye now, and see, whether a male doth travail with child? Wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail; and all faces are turned into paleness? Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob's trouble; but he shall be saved out of it. 8And it shall come to pass in that day, saith Jehovah of hosts, I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and will burst thy bonds, and strangers shall no more reduce him to servitude. 9But they shall serve Jehovah their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up unto them.
