Micah 4:9-11

Complete Jewish Bible

⁹ Why are you now crying out?
Don’t you have a king?
Has your counselor been destroyed,
that you are seized with pain like a woman in labor?
¹⁰ Be in pain! Work to give birth
like a woman in labor, daughter of Tziyon!
For now you will go out of the city
and live in the wilds till you reach Bavel.
There you will be rescued;
there Adonai will redeem you
from the power of your enemies.
¹¹ Now many nations have gathered against you;
they say, “Let her be defiled,
let’s gloat over Tziyon.”
