Exegesis
The temporal prepositional phrase en ekeinais tais hemerais {ἐν ἐκείναις ταῖς ἡμέραις | en e-keí-nais taîs hē-mé-rais} “in those days” anchors the lament in a particular eschatological period already described in the discourse, with the demonstrative ekeinais giving a deictic, future-distress perspective. In translation, the Greek word order, which foregrounds the lament “woe” and then the indirect objects, is preserved in the formal version for rhetorical effect, while the dynamic version reshapes the sentence into a more typical subject–verb–complement structure (“How terrible it will be…”) to sound natural in contemporary English, yet still keeps the two groups and the temporal phrase tightly linked.
In context — Mark 13:17
But woe to the women who are with child and to those nursing in those days !
