Jeremiah 30:6 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

The voice which I hear is not the voice of women, but of men, and those the strongest and stoutest men, yet it is a voice like the voice of women in travail, roaring out through their pains; and the posture I see the generality of men are in is like the posture of women in travail, who hold their hands upon their loins, hoping thereby to abate their pain. Was it ever heard that males had the pains that use to attend child-bearing women? And all faces are turned into paleness; and all men's faces look as if they had the yellow jaundice; or are of the colour of blasted corn, as the word signifieth, Deuteronomy 28:22.

Jeremiah 30:6

6 Ask ye now, and see whether a manb doth travail with child? wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness?
