Context of Jeremiah 30:7
5The Lord said, ‘People are shouting because they are afraid! Listen to them! There is no peace anywhere. 6Think carefully about this. Do men ever give birth to babies? So why are these strong men weak with pain? They seem like a woman who is giving birth. All their faces have become white with fear. It will be a time of terrible trouble, worse than anything that has happened before. It will be a time of great trouble for Jacob's descendants. But I will rescue them from their trouble.’ 8The Lord Almighty says this: ‘When that day comes, I will break the yoke that is around your necks. I will remove the ropes that tie your legs. My people will no longer be slaves under the power of foreign people. 9Instead, they will serve the Lord their God. They will serve David's descendant. I will raise that man up to be their king.’
