Jeremiah 13:21

English Standard Version

21 What will you say when they set as head over you those whom you yourself have taught to be friends to you? Will not pangs take hold of you like those of a woman in labor? (Isa 13:8) 

New International Version

21 What will you say when the Lord sets over you those you cultivated as your special allies? Will not pain grip you like that of a woman in labour? 

New International Reader’s Version

21 You have worked hard to make special friends. But the LORD will let them rule over you. Then what will you say? Suffering will take hold of you. It will be like the pain of a woman having a baby. 

King James Version

21 What wilt thou say when he shall punish thee? for thou hast taught them to be captains, and as chief over thee: shall not sorrows take thee, as a woman in travail?
