We know that the whole creation is groaning together and suffering labor pains up until now.
For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.
We know that the whole creation [of irrational creatures] has been moaning together in the pains of labor until now. [Jer. 12:4, 11.]
For we know that every creature groans inwardly, as if giving birth, even until now;
For we know that every creature groaneth and travaileth in pain, even till now.
