21:3 For this reason my stomach churns; 1
cramps overwhelm me
like the contractions of a woman in labor.
I am disturbed 2 by what I hear,
horrified by what I see.
48:8 You did not hear,
you do not know,
you were not told beforehand. 3
For I know that you are very deceitful; 4
you were labeled 5 a rebel from birth.
