“Ask ye now, and see whether a man doth travail with child? wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness?”
The rhetorical question about men giving birth emphasizes unprecedented nature of coming judgment—a reversal of natural order. The image of men with hands on loins suggests terror and helplessness before overwhelming military force. Theologically, this exaggeration underscores human powerlessness and dependence on God; deliverance comes only from divine intervention.
