Jeremiah 30:3-9

3For behold, the days are coming,” declares Adonai, “when I will return My people Israel and Judah from exile,” declares Adonai. “I will bring them back to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they will possess it.”

4Now these are the words that Adonai spoke to Israel and to Judah.

5For thus says Adonai: “We heard a sound of trembling, of dread—there is no shalom.

6Ask now, and see whether a man can give birth. Why do I see every man with his hands on his loins, like a woman giving birth? Why have all faces turned pale?

7Oy ! For that day is monumental. There will be none like it— a time of trouble for Jacob! Yet out of it he will be saved.

8It will be in that day” —it is a declaration of Adonai-Tzva’ot— “that I will break his yoke from off your neck, and will tear off your bonds. Foreigners will no longer enslave him.

9Instead they will serve Adonai their God and David their king, whom I will raise up for them.
