1 The word that hath been unto Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying,

2 'Thus spake Jehovah, God of Israel, saying, Write for thee all the words that I have spoken unto thee on a book.

3 For, lo, days are coming — an affirmation of Jehovah — and I have turned back to the captivity of My people Israel and Judah, said Jehovah, and I have caused them to turn back unto the land that I gave to their fathers, and they do possess it.'

4 And these are the words that Jehovah hath spoken concerning Israel and concerning Judah:

5 Surely thus said Jehovah: A voice of trembling we have heard, Fear — and there is no peace.

6 Ask, I pray you, and see, is a male bringing forth? Wherefore have I seen every man, His hands on his loins, as a travailing woman, And all faces have been turned to paleness?
