Micah 4:9-11

Young's Literal Translation

⁹Now, why dost thou shout aloud? A king -- is there none in thee? Hath thy counsellor perished, That taken hold of thee hath pain as a travailing woman?

¹⁰Be pained, and bring forth, O daughter of Zion, As a travailing woman, For now, thou goest forth from the city, And thou hast dwelt in the field, And thou hast gone unto Babylon, There thou art delivered, There redeem thee doth Jehovah from the hand of thine enemies.

¹¹And now, gathered against thee have been many nations, who are saying: `Let her be defiled, and our eyes look on Zion.'

Micah 4:9-11

New International Version

⁹Why 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)
¹⁰Writhe 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.
