Jeremiah 6:24

English Standard Version

24 We have heard the report of it; our hands fall helpless; anguish has taken hold of us, pain as of a woman in labor. (2Sa 4:1; Isa 13:8; Jer 38:4; Jer 49:24; Eze 7:17; Eze 21:7) 

New International Version

24 We have heard reports about them, and our hands hang limp. Anguish has gripped us, pain like that of a woman in labour. 

New International Reader’s Version

24 We have heard reports about them. And our hands can’t help us. We are suffering greatly. It’s like the pain of a woman having a baby. 

King James Version

24 We have heard the fame thereof: our hands wax feeble: anguish hath taken hold of us, and pain, as of a woman in travail.
