- "One postª° shall runª° to meetª° another,ª° and one messengerª° to meetª° another,ª° to shewª° the kingª of Babylonª that¹ his cityª is takenª° at [one] end,ª¹" {Jer 51:31} + "Howlª° ye; for¹ the dayª of the LORDª [is] at hand;ª it shall comeª° as a destructionª from the Almighty.ª¹ ... 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 13:6-8} + "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]. ... My heartª panted,ª° fearfulnessª affrightedª°¹ me: the nightª of my pleasureª hath he turnedª° into fearª unto me." {Isa 21:3-4} + "In the same hourª came forthª° fingersª of¹ a man'sª hand,ª and wroteª° over againstª the candlestickª uponª the plaisterª of¹ the wallª of¹ the king'sª palace:ª and the kingª sawª° the partª of the handª that¹ wrote.ª° ... Thenª the king'sª countenanceª was changed,ª° and his thoughtsª troubledª° him, so that the jointsª of his loinsª were loosed,ª° and his kneesª smoteª° oneª against another.ª" {Dan 5:5-6}
