Micah 4:9-11

New Catholic Bible

⁹ Why are you now crying out?
    Have you no king any longer,
    or has your counselor perished,
that you are afflicted with pains
    like a woman in labor?
¹⁰ Writhe in pain and cry aloud,
    O daughter Zion,
    like a woman in labor.
For now you must go forth from the city
    and camp in the open country.
You will go to Babylon
    where you will be saved.
There the Lord will deliver you
    from the hands of your enemies.

¹¹ But now many nations
    are gathered against you.
They say, “Let her be profaned;
    let us gloat over Zion.”
