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.
THE SURROUNDING PASSAGE
Jeremiah 30:7 in context
Jeremiah 30:4–10
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
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
Selected verse
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.
10
Therefore don’t be afraid, O Jacob my servant, says the LORD.
Don’t be dismayed, Israel.
For, behold, I will save you from afar,
and save your offspring from the land of their captivity.
Jacob will return,
and will be quiet and at ease.
No one will make him afraid.
