5 “For thus says the Lord:
‘We have heard a voice of¹ trembling,
Of fear, and not of peace. ‡

6 Ask now, and see,
Whether a¹ man is ever in labor with child?
So why do I see every man with his hands on his loins
^aLike a woman in labor,
And all faces turned pale? ‡

9 But they shall serve the Lord their God,
And ^aDavid their king,
Whom I will ^braise up for them. ‡

10 ‘Therefore ^ado not fear, O My servant Jacob,’ says the Lord,
‘Nor be dismayed, O Israel;
For behold, I will save you from afar,
And your seed ^bfrom the land of their captivity.
Jacob shall return, have rest and be quiet,
And no one shall make him afraid. ‡
