Yeremia 49:24

Dameski amedhoofika, amegeuka na kukimbia, hofu ya ghafula imemkamata sana; amepatwa na uchungu na maumivu, maumivu kama ya mwanamke katika utungu wa kuzaa.

Damascus is waxed feeble, and turneth herself to flee, and fear hath seized on her: anguish and sorrows have taken her, as a woman in travail.
