30:7 Alas, what a terrible time of trouble it is! 1
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. 2
1 tn Heb “Alas [or Woe] for that day will be great.” For the use of the particle “Alas” to signal a time of terrible trouble, even to sound the death knell for someone, see the translator’s note on 22:13.
2 tn Heb “It is a time of trouble for Jacob but he will be saved out of it.”
