Jérémie 4:31

Listen to Jérémie 4:31
31 Car j'entends comme le cri d'une femme en travail, comme l'angoisse d'une femme à son premier enfantement; c'est le cri de la fille de Sion qui soupire, étendant les mains: "Ah! malheur à moi! car mon ùme succombe sous les meurtriers! "

Jérémie 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.

Jérémie 4:31 In-Context

29 Au bruit des cavaliers et des tireurs d'arc toutes les villes prennent la fuite; ils entrent dans les bois, montent sur les rochers; toutes les villes sont abandonnées, il n'y reste plus d'habitants.
30 Et toi, dĂ©vastĂ©e, que fais-tu? Quoique tu te revĂȘtes de pourpre, que tu te pares d'ornements d'or, et que tu bordes tes yeux de fard, tu t'embellis en vain: tes amants t'ont mĂ©prisĂ©e; c'est ta vie qu'ils cherchent.
31 Car j'entends comme le cri d'une femme en travail, comme l'angoisse d'une femme à son premier enfantement; c'est le cri de la fille de Sion qui soupire, étendant les mains: "Ah! malheur à moi! car mon ùme succombe sous les meurtriers! "
