Jeremiah 30:6 Context
4¶ And these are the words that the Lord spake concerning Israel, and concerning Iudah. 5For thus sayth the Lord, Wee haue heard a voice of trembling, of feare, and not of peace. 6Aske yee now and see whether a man doeth trauaile with child? wherefore doe I see euery man with his handes on his loynes, as a woman in trauaile, and all faces are turned into palenesse? 7Alas, for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is euen the time of Iacobs trouble, but he shall be saued out of it. 8For it shall come to passe in that day, saith the Lord of hostes, that I will breake his yoke from off thy necke, and will burst thy bondes, and strangers shall no more serue themselues of him.
