Micah 4:9 in Context — Micah 4

7 Y pondré á la coja para sucesión, y á la descarriada para nación robusta: y Jehová reinará sobre ellos en el monte de Sión desde ahora para siempre.

8 Y tú, oh torre del rebaño, la fortaleza de la hija de Sión vendrá hasta ti: y el señorío primero, el reino vendrá á la hija de Jerusalem.

9 Ahora ¿por qué gritas tanto? ¿No hay rey en ti? ¿Pereció tu consejero, que te ha tomado dolor como de mujer de parto?

10 Duélete y gime, hija de Sión, como mujer de parto; porque ahora saldrás de la ciudad, y morarás en el campo, y llegarás hasta Babilonia: allí serás librada, allí te redimirá Jehová de la mano de tus enemigos.

11 Ahora empero se han juntado muchas gentes contra ti, y dicen: Sea profanada, y vean nuestros ojos [su deseo] sobre Sión.
