^aIs there no king in you?
^bHas your counselor perished,

10 ^dWrithe and groan, ^{▼▼Or push} O daughter of Zion,
like a woman in labor,
for ^fnow you shall go out from the city
and dwell in the open country;
you ^gshall go to Babylon.
There you shall be rescued;
^hthere the Lord will redeem you
from the hand of your enemies.
