43 “The king of Babylon has heard the report about them,+ and his hands have dropped down.+ There is distress! Severe pains have seized hold of him, just like a woman giving birth.+

3 Whenever it is that they+ are saying: “Peace+ and security!” then sudden destruction+ is to be instantly upon them just as the pang of distress upon a pregnant woman;+ and they will by no means escape.+
