‘We have heard a voice of trembling,
Of 1fear, and not of peace.

cLike a woman in labor,
And all faces turned pale?
7 dAlas! For that day is great,
eSo that none is like it;
And it is the time of Jacob’s trouble,
But he shall be saved out of it.

This is a time of great trouble for the people of Jacob,
but they will be saved from it.”
