Micah 4:8-10
Amplified Bible
8
“As for you [Jerusalem], tower of the flock [of Israel],
Hill and stronghold of the Daughter of Zion (Jerusalem’s inhabitants),
To you the former dominion shall come,
The kingdom of the Daughter of Jerusalem [when the Messiah reigns in Jerusalem, and the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled].(A)
9
“Now, why do you cry out loudly?
Is there no king among you?
Has your counselor perished?
For agony has gripped you like a woman in childbirth.
10
“Writhe in pain and labor to give birth,
O Daughter of Zion,
Like a woman in childbirth;
For now you shall go out of the city,
Live in the field,
And go to Babylon.
There you will be rescued;
There the Lord shall redeem you
From the hand of your enemies.
Micah 4:8-10
New International Version
8 As for you, watchtower of the flock,
stronghold[a] of Daughter Zion,
the former dominion will be restored(A) to you;
kingship will come to Daughter Jerusalem.(B)”
9 Why do you now cry aloud—
have you no king[b](C)?
Has your ruler[c] perished,
that pain seizes you like that of a woman in labor?(D)
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;(E)
there you will be rescued.
There the Lord will redeem(F) you
out of the hand of your enemies.
