Isaiah 66:6-9
New King James Version
6 The sound of noise from the city!
A voice from the temple!
The voice of the Lord,
Who fully repays His enemies!
7 “Before she was in labor, she gave birth;
Before her pain came,
She delivered a male child.
8 Who has heard such a thing?
Who has seen such things?
Shall the earth be made to give birth in one day?
Or shall a nation be born at once?
For as soon as Zion was in labor,
She gave birth to her children.
9 Shall I bring to the time of birth, and not cause delivery?” says the Lord.
“Shall I who cause delivery shut up the womb?” says your God.
Isaiah 66:6-9
New International Version
6 Hear that uproar from the city,
hear that noise from the temple!
It is the sound(A) of the Lord
repaying(B) his enemies all they deserve.
7 “Before she goes into labor,(C)
she gives birth;
before the pains come upon her,
she delivers a son.(D)
8 Who has ever heard of such things?
Who has ever seen(E) things like this?
Can a country be born in a day(F)
or a nation be brought forth in a moment?
Yet no sooner is Zion in labor
than she gives birth to her children.(G)
9 Do I bring to the moment of birth(H)
and not give delivery?” says the Lord.
“Do I close up the womb
when I bring to delivery?” says your God.
Micah 4:9
New King James Version
9 Now why do you cry aloud?
(A)Is there no king in your midst?
Has your counselor perished?
For (B)pangs have seized you like a woman in [a]labor.
