我既聞其風聲、手則弱焉、痛苦迫我、憯怛若臨產之婦、

先知曰、我聞其聲、已喪厥膽、我懷憂戚、若婦將產。

我儕已聞其風聲、手俱疲弱、手俱疲弱或作已皆喪膽甚為恐懼、悲痛慘怛、若婦臨產、

We have heard reports about them, and our hands hang limp. Anguish has gripped us, pain like that of a woman in labor.

We have heard reports about them. And our hands can’t help us. We are suffering greatly. It’s like the pain of a woman having a baby.

We have heard the report of it; our hands fall helpless; anguish has taken hold of us, pain as of a woman in labor.

We have heard reports about the enemy, and we wring our hands in fright. Pangs of anguish have gripped us, like those of a woman in labor.

We have heard about it, and our hands have become weak. Distress has seized us— pain, like a woman in labor.

We have heard the report of it; Our hands are limp. Anguish has seized us, Pain like that of a woman in childbirth.

We have heard the report of it; Our hands grow feeble. Anguish has taken hold of us, Pain as of a woman in labor.

We have heard the report thereof; our hands wax feeble: anguish hath taken hold of us, and pangs as of a woman in travail.

We have heard the fame thereof: our hands wax feeble: anguish hath taken hold of us,[ and] pain, as of a woman in travail.

The people cry out,“ We have heard reports about them! We have become helpless with fear! Anguish grips us, agony like that of a woman giving birth to a baby!

We have heard its report. Our hands become feeble. Anguish has taken hold of us, and pains as of a woman in labor.

I hear a cry like a woman in labor, a cry of anguish like one bearing her first child. The cry of Daughter Zion gasping for breath, stretching out her hands: Woe is me, for my life is weary because of the murderers!

Damascus has become weak; she has turned to run; panic has gripped her. Distress and labor pains have seized her like a woman in labor.

My anguish, my anguish! I writhe in agony! Oh, the pain in my heart! My heart pounds; I cannot be silent. For you, my soul, have heard the sound of the ram’s horn— the shout of battle.Disaster after disaster is reported because the whole land is destroyed. Suddenly my tents are destroyed, my tent curtains, in a moment.How long must I see the signal flag and hear the sound of the ram’s horn?

What will you say when He appoints close friends as leaders over you, ones you yourself trained? Won’t labor pains seize you, as they do a woman in labor?

Every time it passes through, it will carry you away; it will pass through every morning— every day and every night. Only terror will cause you to understand the message.

Ask and see whether a male can give birth. Why then do I see every man with his hands on his stomach like a woman in labor and every face turned pale?

Therefore I am filled with anguish. Pain grips me, like the pain of a woman in labor. I am too perplexed to hear, too dismayed to see.

I heard, and I trembled within; my lips quivered at the sound. Rottenness entered my bones; I trembled where I stood. Now I must quietly wait for the day of distress to come against the people invading us.

You residents of Lebanon, nestled among the cedars, how you will groan when labor pains come on you, agony like a woman in labor.

When they say,“ Peace and security,” then sudden destruction comes on them, like labor pains come on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.

“ But you, son of man, groan! Groan bitterly with a broken heart right before their eyes.And when they ask you,‘ Why are you groaning?’ then say: Because of the news that is coming. Every heart will melt, and every hand will become weak. Every spirit will be discouraged, and every knee will turn to water. Yes, it is coming and it will happen.” This is the declaration of the Lord God.

Lift up a signal flag toward Zion. Run for cover! Don’t stand still! For I am bringing disaster from the north— a great destruction.A lion has gone up from his thicket; a destroyer of nations has set out. He has left his lair to make your land a waste. Your cities will be reduced to uninhabited ruins.Because of this, put on sackcloth; mourn and wail, for the Lord’s burning anger has not turned away from us.“ On that day”— this is the Lord’s declaration—“ the king and the officials will lose their courage. The priests will tremble in fear, and the prophets will be scared speechless.”

Trembling seized them there, agony like that of a woman in labor,

when terror strikes you like a storm and your calamity comes like a whirlwind, when trouble and stress overcome you.Then they will call me, but I won’t answer; they will search for me, but won’t find me.

Now, why are you shouting loudly? Is there no king with you? Has your counselor perished so that anguish grips you like a woman in labor?Writhe and cry out, Daughter Zion, like a woman in labor, for now you will leave the city and camp in the open fields. You will go to Babylon; there you will be rescued; there the Lord will redeem you from the power of your enemies!
