Now why do you cry aloud?
    (A)Is there no king in you?
(B)Has your counselor perished,
    that (C)pain seized you like a woman in labor?
10 (D)Writhe and groan,[a] O daughter of Zion,
    like a woman in labor,
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.

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.
