31 For I have heard a voice as of a woman in travail, the anguish as of her that bringeth forth her first child, the voice of the daughter of Zion, that gaspeth for breath, that spreadeth her hands, saying, Woe is me now! for my soul fainteth before the murderers.

For I have heard a voice like that of a woman in labor, a voice of anguish like that of a woman giving birth to her first child; the daughter of Zion is in agony, she spreads out her hands, woe is me, for my soul is weary of those who kill.
