Micah 4:8-10

New Living Translation

⁹ But why are you now screaming in terror?
    Have you no king to lead you?
Have your wise people all died?
    Pain has gripped you like a woman in childbirth.
¹⁰ Writhe and groan like a woman in labor,
    you people of Jerusalem,^[b]
for now you must leave this city
    to live in the open country.
You will soon be sent in exile
    to distant Babylon.
But the Lord will rescue you there;
    he will redeem you from the grip of your enemies.
