Israel And Judah Will Be Delivered From Their Distress

6 Ask now and see: Can a man give birth to a child? Why, then, do I see every strong man holding his stomach in pain like a woman giving birth to a child? Why has every face turned pale? 7 ‘Alas! for that day is great,
There is none like it;
And it is the time of Jacob’s distress,
But he will be saved from it.
8 On that day, declares Jehovah of Hosts, I will break the yokes off your necks and tear off your ropes. Foreigners will no longer make you serve them.
