⁸ They will be ^(A)terrified,
Pains and anguish will take hold of them;
They will ^(B)writhe like a woman in labor,
They will look at one another in astonishment,
Their faces aflame.

⁶ ‘Ask now, and see
If a male can give birth.
Why do I see every man
With his hands on his loins, ^(A)as a woman in childbirth?
And why have all faces turned pale?

⁴¹ “Kerioth has been captured
And the strongholds have been seized,
So the ^(A)hearts of the mighty men of Moab in that day
Will be like the heart of a ^(B)woman in labor.
