¹⁰ Writhe in agony, Daughter Zion,
    like a woman in labor,
for now you must leave the city
    to camp in the open field.
You will go to Babylon;^(A)
    there you will be rescued.
There the Lord will redeem^(B) you
    out of the hand of your enemies.

¹¹ But now many nations
    are gathered against you.
They say, “Let her be defiled,
    let our eyes gloat^(C) over Zion!”
¹² But they do not know
    the thoughts of the Lord;
they do not understand his plan,^(D)
    that he has gathered them like sheaves to the threshing floor.
