Jeremiah 30:6-8

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

⁶ Ask now, and see,
    can a man bear a child?
Why then do I see every man
    with his hands on his loins like a woman in labour?
    Why has every face turned pale?
⁷ Alas! that day is so great
    there is none like it;
it is a time of distress for Jacob;
    yet he shall be rescued from it.
