Micah 4:9-11

New King James Version

⁹ Now why do you cry aloud?
^(A)Is there no king in your midst?
Has your counselor perished?
For ^(B)pangs have seized you like a woman in ^[a]labor.
¹⁰ Be in pain, and labor to bring forth,
O daughter of Zion,
Like a woman in birth pangs.
For now you shall go forth from the city,
You shall dwell in the field,
And to ^(C)Babylon you shall go.
There you shall be delivered;
There the ^(D)Lord will ^(E)redeem you
From the hand of your enemies.

^11 (F)Now also many nations have gathered against you,
Who say, “Let her be defiled,
And let our eye ^(G)look upon Zion.”
