A day of anguish

4And these are the words that Yahweh spoke concerning Israel and Judah:

5For thus says Yahweh: “We have heard a sound of trembling, of fear, and there is no peace.”

6Ask now, and see: does a male give birth? Why then do I see every man with his hands on his loins like a woman in labor, and every face turned pale?

7Alas! For that day is great; there is none like it. It is a time of distress for Jacob, yet he will be saved out of it.
