# General Information:

Yahweh continues speaking.

|
# I have kept quiet for a long time; I have been still and restrained myself
|
|
|
|
These two lines share similar meanings. Yahweh's inactivity is described as quietness and stillness. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-parallelism]])

|
# I have been still and restrained myself
|
|
|
|
These two phrases mean basically the same thing and indicate that Yahweh has kept himself from acting. Alternate translation: "I have kept myself from doing anything" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-doublet]])

|
# I will cry out like a woman in labor; I will gasp and pant
|
|
|
|
Yahweh's activity as a shouting warrior is compared with a pregnant woman who cries from labor pains. This emphasizes sudden unavoidable action after a period of inactivity. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-simile]])
