Jeremiah 30:3-9

3For behold, days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will restore the fortunes of my people, Israel and Judah, says the Lord, and I will bring them back to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall take possession of it."

4These are the words that the Lord spoke concerning Israel and Judah:

5"Thus says the Lord: We have heard a cry of panic, of terror, and no peace.

6Ask now, and see, can a man bear a child? Why then do I see every man with his hands on his stomach like a woman in labor? Why has every face turned pale?

7Alas! That day is so great there is none like it; it is a time of distress for Jacob; yet he shall be saved out of it.

8"And it shall come to pass in that day, declares the Lord of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off your neck, and I will burst your bonds, and foreigners shall no more make a servant of him.

9But they shall serve the Lord their God and David their king, whom I will raise up for them.
