because the creation has become subject to futility, though not by anything it did. The one who subjected it did so in the certainty

Then he told them, "As you go into the entire world, proclaim the gospel to everyone.

However, you must remain firmly established and steadfast in the faith, without being moved from the hope of the gospel that you heard, which has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven and of which I, Paul, have become a servant.

Groaneth

Trembling seized them there, pains like those of a woman in labor,

They'll make it into a desolate place, and, desolate, it will cry out in mourning to me. The whole land will be desolate because no one takes it to heart.

When a woman is in labor she has pain, because her time has come. Yet when she has given birth to her child, she doesn't remember the agony anymore because of the joy of having brought a human being into the world.

She was pregnant and was crying out from her labor pains, the agony of giving birth.

Every living thing on earth died flying creatures, livestock, wildlife, all creatures that swarm over the earth, and all human beings.

So you are not to let the land vomit you up because of your uncleanness as it is vomiting the nations that were here before you.

As long as it lies desolate, it will have rest that it will not have had during your Sabbaths when you were living in it.

Oh, how the livestock groan! The herds of cattle wander about because they have no pasture. Even flocks of sheep suffer!
