'Woman' in the Bible

They will be horrified;pain and agony will seize them;they will be in anguish like a woman in labor.They will look at each other,their faces flushed with fear.

Therefore I am filled with anguish.Pain grips me, like the pain of a woman in labor.I am too perplexed to hear,too dismayed to see.

He said,“You will not rejoice anymore,ravished young woman, daughter of Sidon.Get up and cross over to Cyprus—even there you will have no rest!”

As a pregnant woman about to give birthwrithes and cries out in her pains,so we were before You, Lord.

this is the word the Lord has spoken against him:Virgin Daughter Ziondespises you and scorns you:Daughter Jerusalem shakes her headbehind your back.

“I have kept silent from ages past;I have been quiet and restrained Myself.But now, I will groan like a woman in labor,gasping breathlessly.

“Can a woman forget her nursing child,or lack compassion for the child of her womb?Even if these forget,yet I will not forget you.

“Rejoice, childless one, who did not give birth;burst into song and shout,you who have not been in labor!For the children of the forsaken one will be morethan the children of the married woman,”says the Lord.
