^10 (A)Writhe and groan,^[a] O daughter of Zion,
    like a woman in labour,
for ^(B)now you shall go out from the city
    and dwell in the open country;
    you ^(C)shall go to Babylon.
There you shall be rescued;
    ^(D)there the Lord will redeem you
    from the hand of your enemies.
¹¹ Now ^(E)many nations
    are assembled against you,
saying, “Let her be defiled,
    and ^(F)let our eyes gaze upon Zion.”
¹² But ^(G)they do not know
    the thoughts of the Lord;
they do not understand his plan,
    that ^(H)he has gathered them as sheaves to the threshing floor.
