Jeremiah 30:7

Israel
Suffering

5 Yes, this is what the LORD says: “A cry of panic is heard— a cry of terror, not of peace.

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

How awful that day will be! None will be like it! It is the time of Jacob’s distress, but he will be saved out of it.

8 On that day, declares the LORD of Hosts, I will break the yoke off their necks and tear off their bonds, and no longer will strangers enslave them.

9 Instead, they will serve the LORD their God and David their king, whom I will raise up for them.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
