'Miseries' in the Bible

but all these miseries are but like the early pains of childbirth.

For nation will rise in arms against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places; there will be famines. These miseries are but like the early pains of childbirth.

Now the mind of the flesh is death [both now and forever—because it pursues sin]; but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace [the spiritual well-being that comes from walking with God—both now and forever];

Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.
