Which may be understood two ways; First, bowing to free themselves of their young ones, their sorrows end, or there is an end of their sorrows, they are cast out. Secondly, Thus they cast out their sorrows; that is, their young ones are cast out which have put them to much sorrow & grievous throws, & so may well be called their sorrows; as Rachel called that child with which she had such hard travel, Ben-oni, The son of her sorrows (Gen. 35.18.)
The word which we render sorrows, signifies cords and bonds, implying, that these creatures are girded and bound about with extreme pain, until (by the power of God in nature) they receive deliverance. Some are bound and girded with troubles, in and from the world, who yet are not sorrowful; we through faith may even glory in tribulation (Rom. 5.3.) but they who are sorrowful, are always bound; and therefore the same word signifieth bonds and sorrows. They cast out their sorrows.

Some are bound and girded with troubles, in and from the world, who yet are not sorrowful; we through faith may even glory in tribulation (Rom. 5.3.) but they who are sorrowful, are alwayes bound; and therefore the same word signifieth bonds and sorrows. They cast out their sorrows.
Hence note; First, Even wild and savage creatures bring forth with pain.
