Jeremías 4:31

Listen to Jeremías 4:31
31 Porque oí un grito como de mujer de parto, angustia como de primeriza; era el grito de la hija de Sion que se ahogaba, y extendía sus manos, diciendo: ¡Ay ahora de mí, porque desfallezco ante los asesinos!

Jeremías 4:31 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 4:31

For I have heard a voice as of a woman in travail
So the distress of the Jews, at the time of their destruction, is compared to the sorrows of a woman in travail; and a word, that signifies that is used to express it, ( Matthew 24:8 ) : and the anguish as of her that bringeth forth her first child;
whose time is more difficult, her pains sharper, her anguish greater, and, having less experience, the more impatient: the voice of the daughter of Zion, that bewaileth herself;
her unhappy condition, and miserable circumstances: that spreadeth her hands;
as persons in distress do, and particularly women in travail: saying, woe is me now, for my soul is wearied because of murderers:
these abounded: under the second temple, and was the reason, the Jews say: {m}, of the sanhedrim removing from their usual place in the temple; and why they ceased from the beheading of the red heifer F14.

Jeremías 4:31 In-Context

29 Al ruido de jinetes y arqueros huye toda la ciudad; entran en las espesuras y trepan por los peñascos. Toda ciudad está abandonada, y no queda en ellas morador alguno.
30 Y tú, desolada, ¿qué harás? Aunque te vistas de escarlata, aunque te pongas adornos de oro, aunque te agrandes con pintura los ojos, en vano te embelleces; te desprecian tus amantes, sólo buscan tu vida.
31 Porque oí un grito como de mujer de parto, angustia como de primeriza; era el grito de la hija de Sion que se ahogaba, y extendía sus manos, diciendo: ¡Ay ahora de mí, porque desfallezco ante los asesinos!
