isaiah 13:8 And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces shall be as flames. - Free Bible Online

isaiah 13:8 And they will be terrified, Pains and anguish will take hold of [them]; They will writhe like a woman in labor, They will look at one another in astonishment, Their faces aflame.


      8. pangs--The Hebrew means also a "messenger." HORSLEY, therefore, with the Septuagint translates, "The heralds (who bring word of the unexpected invasion) are terrified." MAURER agrees with English Version, literally, "they shall take hold of pangs and sorrows."
      woman . . . travaileth-- (1Th 5:3).
      amazed--the stupid, bewildered gaze of consternation.
      faces . . . flames--"their visages have the livid hue of flame" [HORSLEY]; with anguish and indignation.

JFB.
