11. A Travelling Woman

Jeremiah 4:31
“For I have heard a voice as of a woman in labor,
 The anguish as of her who brings forth her first child,
 The voice of the daughter of Zion bewailing herself;
 She spreads her hands, saying,
 ‘Woe is me now, for my soul is weary
 Because of murderers!’

Jeremiah 6:24
We have heard the report of it;
 Our hands grow feeble.
 Anguish has taken hold of us,
 Pain as of a woman in labor.
