23Some of you live in Jerusalem in the Palace of the Forest of Lebanon.

You are comfortable in your cedar buildings.

But you will groan when pain comes on you.

It will be like the pain of a woman having a baby.

paneled with wood from the cedars of Lebanon,

but soon you will groan with pangs of anguish—

how you will groan when labor pains come to you,

anguish as the woman who gives birth.

How gracious shalt thou be when pangs come upon thee,

The pain as of a woman in travail!
