Then why do I see every strong man with his hands on his stomach like a woman in labor, every face turned deathly pale?
7 How terrible that day will be! There will be no other day like it. It will be a time of calamity for the descendants of Jacob, but they will be rescued from it. Alas! That day is so great there is none like it; it is a time of distress for Jacob; yet he shall be saved out of it. How awful that day will be! No other will be like it. It will be a time of trouble for Jacob, but he will be saved out of it.
8 |On that day,| declares the LORD of Armies, |I will break the yokes off your necks and tear off your ropes. Foreigners will no longer make you serve them. “And it shall come to pass in that day, declares the LORD of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off your neck, and I will burst your bonds, and foreigners shall no more make a servant of him. “’In that day,’ declares the LORD Almighty, ‘I will break the yoke off their necks and will tear off their bonds; no longer will foreigners enslave them.

12 |This is what the LORD says: Your wound is incurable. Your injury is beyond healing. “For thus says the LORD: Your hurt is incurable, and your wound is grievous. “This is what the LORD says: “’Your wound is incurable, your injury beyond healing.
13 No one argues that you should be healed. No medicine will heal you. There is none to uphold your cause, no medicine for your wound, no healing for you. There is no one to plead your cause, no remedy for your sore, no healing for you.
14 All your lovers have forgotten you, and they don't want you anymore. I've punished you as an enemy would. I've corrected you as a cruel person would. You are very wicked, and you have many sins.

All your allies have forgotten you; they care nothing for you. I have struck you as an enemy would and punished you as would the cruel, because your guilt is so great and your sins so many.

Because your guilt is great, because your sins are flagrant, I have done these things to you. Why do you cry out over your wound, your pain that has no cure? Because of your great guilt and many sins I have done these things to you.

18 |This is what the LORD says: I'm going to bring the captives back to Jacob's tents and show compassion on their homes. Cities will be built on the ruins, and fortified palaces will be built in their rightful place. “Thus says the LORD: Behold, I will restore the fortunes of the tents of Jacob and have compassion on his dwellings; the city shall be rebuilt on its mound, and the palace shall stand where it used to be. “This is what the LORD says: “’I will restore the fortunes of Jacob’s tents and have compassion on his dwellings; the city will be rebuilt on her ruins, and the palace will stand in its proper place.

I will multiply them, and they shall not be few; I will make them honored, and they shall not be small. From them will come songs of thanksgiving and the sound of rejoicing. I will add to their numbers, and they will not be decreased; I will bring them honor, and they will not be disdained.
20 Their children will be like they were long ago. Their community will be established in my presence, and I will punish everyone who oppresses them.

Their children will be as in days of old, and their community will be established before me; I will punish all who oppress them.
21 Their leader will be someone from their own people. Their ruler will come from among them. I'll bring him near, and he will come close to me. Who would dare to come near me?| asks the LORD. Their prince shall be one of themselves; their ruler shall come out from their midst; I will make him draw near, and he shall approach me, for who would dare of himself to approach me? declares the LORD. Their leader will be one of their own; their ruler will arise from among them. I will bring him near and he will come close to me— for who is he who will devote himself to be close to me?’ declares the LORD.
22 You will be my people, and I will be your God. And you shall be my people, and I will be your God.” “’So you will be my people, and I will be your God.’”
23 The storm of the LORD will come with his anger. Like a driving wind, it will swirl down on the heads of the wicked. Behold the storm of the LORD! Wrath has gone forth, a whirling tempest; it will burst upon the head of the wicked. See, the storm of the LORD will burst out in wrath, a driving wind swirling down on the heads of the wicked.
24 The LORD's burning anger will not turn back until he has done everything he intends to do. In the last days you will understand this clearly. The fierce anger of the LORD will not turn back until he has executed and accomplished the intentions of his mind. In the latter days you will understand this. The fierce anger of the LORD will not turn back until he fully accomplishes the purposes of his heart. In days to come you will understand this.
