Micah 4:9-11

Good News Translation

⁹ Why do you cry out so loudly? Why are you suffering like a woman in labor? Is it because you have no king, and your counselors are dead? ¹⁰ Twist and groan,^[a] people of Jerusalem, like a woman giving birth, for now you will have to leave the city and live in the open country. You will have to go to Babylon, but there the Lord will save you from your enemies. ¹¹ Many nations have gathered to attack you. They say, “Jerusalem must be destroyed! We will see this city in ruins!”
