    a groan as of one bearing her first child—
the cry of Daughter Zion^(B) gasping for breath,^(C)
    stretching out her hands^(D) and saying,
“Alas! I am fainting;
    my life is given over to murderers.”^(E)

New King James Version

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