Isaiah 21:3

3 For this reason my (A)loins are full of anguish;
Pains have seized me like the pains of a (B)woman in labor.
I am so bewildered I cannot hear, so terrified I cannot see.

31 For I heard a [a]cry as of a woman in labor,
The anguish as of one giving birth to her first child,
The [b]cry of the daughter of Zion (A)gasping for breath,
(B)Stretching out her [c]hands, saying,
“Ah, woe is me, for [d]I faint before murderers.”
