Jeremiah 30:5-7

Easy-to-Read Version

“We hear people crying from fear.
    There is fear, not peace.

⁶ “Ask this question and consider it:
    Can a man have a baby? Of course not!
Then why do I see every strong man holding his stomach
    like a woman having labor pains?
Why is everyone’s face turning white
    like a dead man?

⁷ “This is a very important time for Jacob.
    This is a time of great trouble.
There will never be another time like this,
    but Jacob will be saved.
