Isaiah 66:5-7

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

The Lord Vindicates Zion

⁵Hear the word of the Lord,
    you who tremble at his word:
Your own people who hate you
    and reject you for my name’s sake
have said, ‘Let the Lord be glorified,
    so that we may see your joy’;
    but it is they who shall be put to shame.

⁶Listen, an uproar from the city!
A voice from the temple!
The voice of the Lord,
dealing retribution to his enemies!

⁷Before she was in labour
she gave birth;
before her pain came upon her
she delivered a son.
