Exegesis
The perfect ’ăḥāzûnî {אֲחָזוּנִי | ’ăḥāzûnî} ‘they have seized me’ is expanded by the simile kə-ṣîrêy yôlêḏāh {כְּצִירֵי יֽוֹלֵדָה | kə-ṣîrêy yôlêḏāh} ‘like the pangs of a woman in labor’.
In context — Isaiah 21:3
Therefore my loins are filled with anguish; pangs have seized me like the pangs of a woman in labor. I was bent over so that I could scarcely hear , and I was dismayed so that I could scarcely see .
