LUKE 21:23 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.”
How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! There will be great distress in the land and wrath against this people — the pregnant and nursing mothers: the most vulnerable in the flight from the besieged city. Great distress (anagkē megalē, great necessity): the word for the extreme pressure of the siege. Wrath against this people communicates the divine judgment being executed through the Roman armies.
