Micah 4:8-10
Holman Christian Standard Bible
8 And you, watchtower for the flock,(A)
fortified hill[a] of Daughter Zion,
the former rule(B) will come to you,
sovereignty will come to Daughter Jerusalem.
From Exile to Victory
9 Now, why are you shouting loudly?(C)
Is there no king with you?
Has your counselor perished(D)
so that anguish grips you like a woman in labor?
10 Writhe and cry out,[b](E) Daughter Zion,
like a woman in labor,
for now you will leave the city(F)
and camp in the open fields.
You will go to Babylon;
there you will be rescued;(G)
there the Lord will redeem you(H)
from the power of your enemies!

Micah 4:8-10
New International Version
8 As for you, watchtower of the flock,
stronghold[a] of Daughter Zion,
the former dominion will be restored(A) to you;
kingship will come to Daughter Jerusalem.(B)”
9 Why do you now cry aloud—
have you no king[b](C)?
Has your ruler[c] perished,
that pain seizes you like that of a woman in labor?(D)
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;(E)
there you will be rescued.
There the Lord will redeem(F) you
out of the hand of your enemies.

King James Version
Micah 4:8-10
King James Version
8 And thou, O tower of the flock, the strong hold of the daughter of Zion, unto thee shall it come, even the first dominion; the kingdom shall come to the daughter of Jerusalem.
9 Now why dost thou cry out aloud? is there no king in thee? is thy counsellor perished? for pangs have taken thee as a woman in travail.
10 Be in pain, and labour to bring forth, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail: for now shalt thou go forth out of the city, and thou shalt dwell in the field, and thou shalt go even to Babylon; there shalt thou be delivered; there the Lord shall redeem thee from the hand of thine enemies.
