Isaiah 66:7-9

The Voice

^7-8     Have you ever heard of a woman who gave birth before she went into labor?
        Have you ever seen a woman who delivered a son without feeling a thing?
    Do you think it’s possible for the land to go through labor in an instant,
        or to bear a nation, to be new and strong, in a single day?
    Nevertheless, Zion suffered only a moment
        before she gave birth to her children!
⁹     Will I open the womb and not deliver?
        I have made this place labor in terrible pain,
    But do you think I won’t help it give birth?
        That is what I, the Eternal One have to say.
