以下是耶和华论到以色列和犹大所说的话，
And these are the words that the LORD spake concerning Israel and concerning Judah.
你们且访问看看，男人有产难吗。我怎吗看见人人用手掐腰，像产难的妇人，脸面都变青了呢。
Ask ye now, and see whether a man 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?
哀哉。那日为大，无日可比。这是雅各遭难的时候，但他必被救出来。
Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob's trouble, but he shall be saved out of it.
万军之耶和华说，到那日，我必从你颈项上折断仇敌的轭，扭开他的绳索。外邦人不得再使你作他们的奴仆。
For it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and will burst thy bonds, and strangers shall no more serve themselves of him:
你们却要事奉耶和华你们的神和我为你们所要兴起的王大卫。
But they shall serve the LORD their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up unto them.

拉结说，我与我姊姊大大相争，并且得胜，于是给他起名叫拿弗他利（就是相争的意思）。

利亚说，我有福阿，众女子都要称我是有福的，于是给他起名叫亚设（就是有福的意思）。

And Leah conceived again, and bare Jacob the sixth son.
