8 And as for you, atower of the flock,
Hill of the daughter of Zion,
To you it will come—
Even the bformer dominion will come,
The kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem.
9 “Now, why do you amake a loud shout?
Is there no king among you,
Or has your bcounselor perished,
That writhing has taken hold of you like a woman in childbirth?
10 aWrithe and labor to give birth,
Daughter of Zion,
Like a woman in childbirth;
For now you will bgo out of the city,
Dwell in the field,
And go to Babylon.
cThere you will be delivered;
dThere Yahweh will redeem you
From the hand of your enemies.
