13:8 They panic –
cramps and pain seize hold of them
like those of a woman who is straining to give birth.
They look at one another in astonishment;
their faces are flushed red. 1
4:9 Jerusalem, why are you 2 now shouting so loudly? 3
Has your king disappeared? 4
Has your wise leader 5 been destroyed?
Is this why 6 pain grips 7 you as if you were a woman in labor?
4:10 Twist and strain, 8 Daughter Zion, as if you were in labor!
For you will leave the city
and live in the open field.
You will go to Babylon,
but there you will be rescued.
There the Lord will deliver 9 you
from the power 10 of your enemies.
