ESVEnglish Standard Version

For behold, the kings assembled;

they came on together.

As soon as they saw it, they were astounded;

they were in panic; they took to flight.

Trembling took hold of them there,

anguish as of a woman in labor.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

When the kings joined forces,

when they advanced together,

they saw her and were astounded;

they fled in terror.

Trembling seized them there,

pain like that of a woman in labor.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

Look! The kings assembled;

they advanced together.

They looked and froze with fear;

they fled in terror.

Trembling seized them there,

agony like that of a woman in labor,

NLTNew Living Translation

The kings of the earth joined forces

and advanced against the city.

But when they saw it, they were stunned;

they were terrified and ran away.

They were gripped with terror

and writhed in pain like a woman in labor.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

For see, the kings assembled;

they advanced together.

They themselves saw it, so they were astonished.

They were terrified; they ran off.

Trembling seized them there—

pain as of a woman in labor.
