'Anxiety' in the Bible

For I heard a voice like an ill woman, anxiety like [a woman who] bears her first child, the voice of the daughter of Zion. She is gasping for breath, she is spreading out her hands: "Woe is me, for I am becoming tired before killers."

We have heard news of it, our hands grow slack, anxiety has grasped us, pain as a [woman who] gives birth.

About Damascus:Hamath and Arpad are put to shame,for they have heard a bad report and are agitated;in the sea there is anxiety that cannot be calmed.

Damascus has grown slack. She has turned away to flee and panic. Anxiety has seized [her], and labor pains have grasped her, like a woman in labor.

The king of Babylon heard their report and his hands grew slack. Anxiety has seized him, fear and pain like the [woman who] gives birth.
