Micah 4:9-11
English Standard Version Anglicised
9 Now why do you cry aloud?
(A)Is there no king in you?
(B)Has your counsellor perished,
that (C)pain seized you like a woman in labour?
10 (D)Writhe and groan,[a] O daughter of Zion,
like a woman in labour,
for (E)now you shall go out from the city
and dwell in the open country;
you (F)shall go to Babylon.
There you shall be rescued;
(G)there the Lord will redeem you
from the hand of your enemies.
11 Now (H)many nations
are assembled against you,
saying, “Let her be defiled,
and (I)let our eyes gaze upon Zion.”

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)

out of the hand of your enemies.

They say, “Let her be defiled,
let our eyes gloat(E) over Zion!”
