• Jeremiah 4:31
    New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures

    • 31 For I have heard the sound like that of a sick woman,

      The distress like that of a woman giving birth to her first child,

      The voice of the daughter of Zion who keeps gasping for breath.

      She says as she spreads out her palms:+

      “Woe to me, for I am* exhausted because of the killers!”

  • Micah 1:8, 9
    New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures

    •  8 Because of this I will wail and howl;+

      I will walk barefoot and naked.+

      My wailing will be like that of jackals,

      And my mourning like that of ostriches.

       9 For her wound cannot be healed;+

      It has come as far as Judah.+

      The plague has spread to the gate of my people, to Jerusalem.+
