Micah 4:9-11
New King James Version
Micah 4:9-11
New King James Version
9 Now why do you cry aloud?
(A)Is there no king in your midst?
Has your counselor perished?
For (B)pangs have seized you like a woman in [a]labor.
10 Be in pain, and labor to bring forth,
O daughter of Zion,
Like a woman in birth pangs.
For now you shall go forth from the city,
You shall dwell in the field,
And to (C)Babylon you shall go.
There you shall be delivered;
There the (D)Lord will (E)redeem you
From the hand of your enemies.
11 (F)Now also many nations have gathered against you,
Who say, “Let her be defiled,
And let our eye (G)look upon Zion.”

Micah 4:9-11
New International Version
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)
there you will be rescued.
There the Lord will redeem(D) you
out of the hand of your enemies.
11 But now many nations
are gathered against you.
They say, “Let her be defiled,
let our eyes gloat(E) over Zion!”
