Context
Israel and Judah Will Be Delivered after a Time of Deep Distress
30:4 So here is what the Lord has to say about Israel and Judah .
30:5 Yes, here is what he says : “You hear cries of panic and of terror ; there is no peace in sight.
30:6 Ask yourselves this and consider it carefully: Have you ever seen a man give birth to a baby? Why then do I see all these strong men grabbing their stomachs in pain like a woman giving birth ? And why do their faces turn so deathly pale ?
30:7 Alas , what a terrible time of trouble it is! There has never been any like it. It is a time of trouble for the descendants of Jacob , but some of them will be rescued out of it.
30:8 When the time for them to be rescued comes,” says the Lord who rules over all , “I will rescue you from foreign subjugation . I will deliver you from captivity. Foreigners will then no longer subjugate them.
30:9 But they will be subject to the Lord their God and to the Davidic ruler whom I will raise up as king over them .
30:10 So I, the Lord , tell you not to be afraid , you descendants of Jacob , my servants . Do not be terrified , people of Israel . For I will rescue you and your descendants from a faraway land where you are captives . The descendants of Jacob will return to their land and enjoy peace . They will be secure and no one will terrify them.
30:11 For I , the Lord , affirm that I will be with you and will rescue you. I will completely destroy all the nations where I scattered you. But I will not completely destroy you. I will indeed discipline you, but only in due measure . I will not allow you to go entirely unpunished .”
