9 Now why do you cry aloud?

Is there no king in you?

Has your counselor perished,

that pangs have seized you like a woman in travail?

10 Writhe and groan,h O daughter of Zion,

like a woman in travail;

for now you shall go forth from the city

and dwell in the open country;

you shall go to Babylon.

There you shall be rescued,

there the Lord will redeem you

from the hand of your enemies.
