his hands have become weak.
Distress has seized him—
pain, like a woman in labor.(A)

44 “Look, it will be like a lion coming from the thickets[a](B) of the Jordan to the watered grazing land. I will chase Babylon[b] away from her land in a flash. I will appoint whoever is chosen for her. For who is like me? Who will issue me a summons? Who is the shepherd who can stand against me?”
