Micah 4:10
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
10 [a]Writhe, go into labor,
O daughter Zion,
like a woman giving birth;
For now you shall leave the city
and camp in the fields;
To Babylon you shall go,
there you shall be rescued.
There the Lord shall redeem you
from the hand of your enemies.
Footnotes
- 4:10 Frequently the prophets personify the city of Jerusalem as a woman, and here as a woman in labor.
