Jeremiah 30:7-9
EasyEnglish Bible
7 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.[a]
    But I will rescue them from their trouble.’
8 The Lord Almighty says this:
‘When that day comes,
    I will break the yoke that is around your necks.[b]
    I will remove the ropes that tie your legs.
My people will no longer be slaves
    under the power of foreign people.
9 Instead, they will serve the Lord their God.
    They will serve David's descendant.
    I will raise that man up to be their king.’
