Now, these, are the words which Yahweh hath spoken against Israel and against Judah:

Yea, thus, saith Yahweh, A voice of trembling, have we heard, Dread and not welfare!

Ask, I pray you, and see, whether a male travaileth with child! Why have I seen Every man with his hands upon his loins like a woman in travail, and Every face turned into ghastliness?

Alas! for, great, is that day, so that none is like it, - Yea, a time of anguish it is for Jacob, But out of it, shall he be saved.

And it shall come to pass in that day, Declareth Yahweh of hosts, That I will break his yoke from off thy neck, And thy bonds, will I tear off, - And foreigners shall use him as a slave no more;

But they shall serve Yahweh their God, - and David their king, whom I will raise up unto them.

Thou therefore do not fear O my Servant Jacob Urgeth Yahweh, Neither be thou dismayed, O Israel, For behold me! saving thee from afar And thy seed out of the land of their captivity, - Then shall Jacob return, and rest and be quiet, And there shall be none to make him afraid;

For with thee, am, I, Declareth Yahweh To save thee, - Though I make an end of all the nations whither I have scattered thee, Yet will I not of thee, make an end, But will chastise thee in measure, not holding thee, guiltless!
