Jeremiah 30:8

Verse 8 of 24. The 30th of 52 chapters in Jeremiah, in The Major Prophets.

4These are the words that the LORD spoke concerning Israel and concerning Judah.

5For the LORD says: “We have heard a voice of trembling; a voice of fear, and not of peace.

6Ask 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?

7Alas, 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.

8It 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;

9but they will serve the LORD their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up to them.

10Therefore 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.

11For I am with you, says the LORD, to save you; for I will make a full end of all the nations where I have scattered you, but I will not make a full end of you; but I will correct you in measure, and will in no way leave you unpunished.”

12For the LORD says, “Your hurt is incurable. Your wound is grievous.
