Verse 17
Like as a woman with child ,.... By this simile are set forth the great distresses and afflictions the church of Christ will be in, before redemption and deliverance from the antichristian yoke comes:
that draweth near the time of her delivery ; when her burden is great and very troublesome:
is in pain, and crieth out in her pangs ; for her friends to come about her, and give her all the help and assistance they can:
so have we been in thy sight, O Lord ; in great distress and trouble, and crying to him for salvation and deliverance, all which were well known unto him.
Be the first to react on this!
