⁷ “Before she goes into labor,^(A)
    she gives birth;
before the pains come upon her,
    she delivers a son.^(B)

⁸ Who has ever heard of such things?
    Who has ever seen^(A) things like this?
Can a country be born in a day^(B)
    or a nation be brought forth in a moment?
Yet no sooner is Zion in labor
    than she gives birth to her children.^(C)
