- I have heard:
- "We have heardª°¹ the fameª thereof: our handsª wax feeble:ª° anguishª hath taken holdª° of us, [and] pain,ª as of a woman in travail.ª°" {Jer 6:24} + "What¹ wilt thou sayª° when¹ he shall punishª°¹ thee? for thou¹ hast taughtª° them [to be] captains,ª [and] as chiefª over¹ thee: shall not¹ sorrowsª takeª° thee, as¹ a womanª in travail?ª°" {Jer 13:21} + "O inhabitantª° of Lebanon,ª that makest thy nestª° in the cedars,ª how¹ graciousª° shalt thou be when pangsª comeª° upon thee, the painª as of a woman in travail!ª°" {Jer 22:23} + "Askª° ye now,¹ and seeª° whether¹ a manª doth travail with child?ª° wherefore¹ do I seeª° every¹ manª with his handsª on¹ his loins,ª as a woman in travail,ª° and all¹ facesª are turnedª° into paleness?ª" {Jer 30:6} + "Keriothª is taken,ª° and the strong holdsª are surprised,ª° and the mighty men'sª heartsª in Moabª at that¹ dayª shall be¹ as the heartª of a womanª in her pangs.ª°" {Jer 48:41} + "Behold,¹ he shall come upª° and flyª° as the eagle,ª and spreadª° his wingsª over¹ Bozrah:ª and at that¹ dayª shall the heartª of the mighty menª of Edomª be¹ as the heartª of a womanª in her pangs.ª°" {Jer 49:22} + "Damascusª is waxed feeble,ª° [and] turneth²° herself¹ to flee,ª° and fearª hath seizedª° on [her]: anguishª and sorrowsª have takenª° her, as a woman in travail.ª°" {Jer 49:24} + "The kingª of Babylonª hath heardª°¹ the reportª of them, and his handsª waxed feeble:ª° anguishª took holdª° of him, [and] pangsª as of a woman in travail.ª°" {Jer 50:43} + "And they shall be afraid:ª° pangsª and sorrowsª shall take holdª° of them; they shall be in painª° as a woman that travaileth:ª° they shall be amazedª° oneª at¹ another;ª their facesª [shall be as] flames.ª¹" {Isa 13:8} + "Therefore¹¹ are my loinsª filledª° with pain:ª pangsª have taken holdª° upon me, as the pangsª of a woman that travaileth:ª° I was bowed downª° at the hearingª°¹ [of it]; I was dismayedª° at the seeingª°¹ [of it]." {Isa 21:3} + "The sorrowsª of a travailing womanª° shall comeª° upon him: he¹ [is] an unwiseª¹ son;ª for¹ he should not¹ stayª° longª in [the place of] the breaking forthª of children.ª" {Hsa 13:13} + "Forª whenª they shall say,ª° Peaceª andª safety;ª thenª suddenª destructionª cometh uponª° them,ª asª travailª upon² a woman with child;ªª°¹ andª they shall²° notª escape.ª°" {1Th 5:3}
