Micah 4:9-11
Common English Bible
God is in control
9 Now why do you cry out so loudly?
Isn’t the king in you?
Or has your counselor perished,
so that pain has seized you like that of a woman in labor?
10 Writhe and scream, Daughter Zion, like a woman in labor!
Now you will leave the city and dwell in the open field;
you will go to Babylon.
There you will be rescued;
there the Lord will redeem you from the power of your enemies.
11 Now many nations may gather against you;
they say, “Let her be defiled,”
or “Let our eyes look with desire at Zion.”
Micah 4:9-11
New International Version
9 Why do you now cry aloud—
have you no king[a](A)?
Has your ruler[b] perished,
that pain seizes you like that of a woman in labor?(B)
10 Writhe in agony, Daughter Zion,
like a woman in labor,
for now you must leave the city
to camp in the open field.
You will go to Babylon;(C)
there you will be rescued.
There the Lord will redeem(D) you
out of the hand of your enemies.
11 But now many nations
are gathered against you.
They say, “Let her be defiled,
let our eyes gloat(E) over Zion!”
