Read this passage and open each verse for the full verse feed and commentary tools.

9“Now, why do you cry out loudly?

Is there no king among you,

Or has your counselor perished,

That agony has gripped you like a woman in childbirth?

10“Writhe and scream,

Daughter of Zion,

Like a woman in childbirth;

For now you will go out of the city,

Live in the field,

And go to Babylon.

There you will be rescued,

There the Lord will redeem you

From the hand of your enemies.

11“And now many nations have been assembled against you

Who say, ‘Let her be defiled,

And let our eyes gloat over Zion!’

12“But they do not know the thoughts of the Lord,

And they do not understand His plan;

For He has gathered them like sheaves to the threshing floor.

13“Arise and thresh, daughter of Zion,

For I will make your horn iron,

And I will make your hoofs bronze,

So that you may pulverize many peoples,

And dedicate to the Lord their unjust profit,

And their wealth to the Lord of all the earth.
