³¹ “For I have heard a voice as of a woman in ^[a]labor,
The anguish as of her who brings forth her first child,
The voice of the daughter of Zion bewailing herself;
She ^(A)spreads her hands, saying,
‘Woe is me now, for my soul is ^[b]weary
Because of murderers!’

^8 (A)Jerusalem has sinned gravely,
Therefore she has become ^[a]vile.
All who honored her despise her
Because ^(B)they have seen her nakedness;
Yes, she sighs and turns away.
