"his hands were weak because he was anxious"

|
# Anguish seized him
|
|
|
|
Feeling great anguish is spoken of as if anguish grabs the king of Babylon. Alternate translation: "He felt terrible anguish" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])

# Anguish

|
|
suffering and grief that would bring a person to tears
|
|
|
|
# like a woman giving birth
|
|
|
|
The anguish that they feel because the enemy coming to attack them is compared to the anguish that a woman feels when she is about to give birth to a baby. Alternate translation: "like a woman who is about to give birth" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-simile]])
