What does 2 Kings 19:3 mean?

They told Isaiah, 'This is what Hezekiah says: Today is a day of trouble, insults, and disgrace. It’s like a child ready to be born, but there’s no strength left for delivery.' 2 Kings 19:3 - Modern Text Bible

(Hezekiah’s message to Isaiah is one of total helplessness—they’re at the breaking point, with no way out on their own.)
