³ For this reason my ^(A)loins are full of anguish;
Pains have seized me like the pains of a ^(B)woman in labor.
I am so bewildered I cannot hear, so terrified I cannot see.

⁵ Why have I seen it?
They are terrified,
They are ^(A)retreating,
And their ^(B)warriors are defeated
And have taken refuge in flight,
Without facing back.
^[a](C)Terror is on every side!”
Declares the Lord.
