כְּמ֤וֹ הָרָה֙ תַּקְרִ֣יב לָלֶ֔דֶת תָּחִ֥יל תִּזְעַ֖ק בַּחֲבָלֶ֑יהָ כֵּ֛ן הָיִ֥ינוּ מִפָּנֶ֖יךָ יְהוָֽה׃
Seperti seorang perempuan hamil yang sudah dekat waktunya melahirkan, menggeliat kesakitan dan menjerit dalam sakit bersalinnya, demikianlah keadaan kami karena Engkau, ya Yang Mahakekal.
Rashi
As a pregnant woman comes near to give birth, etc. So were we because of You; we see troubles being renewed, and we think that they are sorts of indications of salvation and redemption, for we are promised to be redeemed out of straits, as a woman giving birth.
Ibn Ezra
Like as a woman, etc. This verse describes the chastening mentioned in the preceding verse.
