Micah 4:9-11

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁹ Now why are you crying so loudly?
Don’t you have a king?
Has your counselor died?
Pain grips you like a woman in labor.
¹⁰ Daughter of Zion, writhe in pain and groan like a woman in labor.
Now you will leave the city,
live in the open fields,
and go to Babylon.
There you will be rescued.
There the Lord will reclaim you from your enemies.

¹¹ But now many nations gather against you.
They say, “Let’s dishonor Zion and gloat over it.”
