Ask now, and see whether a man travails with child.
Why do I see every man with his hands on his waist, as a woman in travail,
and all faces are turned pale?
THE SURROUNDING PASSAGE
Jeremiah 30:6 in context
Jeremiah 30:3–9
3
For, behold, the days come,’ says the LORD, ‘that I will reverse the captivity of my people Israel and Judah,’ says the LORD. ‘I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they will possess it.’”
4
These are the words that the LORD spoke concerning Israel and concerning Judah.
5
For the LORD says:
“We have heard a voice of trembling;
a voice of fear, and not of peace.
6
Selected verse
Ask now, and see whether a man travails with child.
Why do I see every man with his hands on his waist, as a woman in travail,
and all faces are turned pale?
7
Alas, for that day is great, so that none is like it!
It is even the time of Jacob’s trouble;
but he will be saved out of it.
8
It will come to pass in that day, says the LORD of Armies, that I will break his yoke from off your neck,
and will burst your bonds.
Strangers will no more make them their bondservants;
9
but they will serve the LORD their God,
and David their king,
whom I will raise up to them.
