Isaiah 66:7-9

Modern English Version

⁷ Before she was in labor,
    she gave birth;
before her pain came,
    she delivered a son.
⁸ Who has heard such a thing?
    Who has seen such things?
Shall the earth be made to give birth in one day?
    Shall a nation be born at once?
For as soon as Zion was in labor,
    she brought forth her sons.
⁹ Shall I bring to the point of birth
    and not cause delivery? says the Lord.
Shall I who cause delivery
    shut the womb? says your God.
