Isaiah 66:7-9

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁷ Before a woman goes into labor, she gives birth.
Before she has labor pains, she delivers a child.
⁸ Who has heard of such a thing?
Who has seen such things?
Can a country be born in one day?
Can a nation be born in a moment?
When Zion went into labor,
she also gave birth to her children.
⁹ “Do I bring a mother to the moment of birth
and not let her deliver?” asks the Lord.
“Do I cause a mother to deliver
and then make her unable to have children?” asks your God.
