^8 (A)Who has heard such a thing? Who has seen such things?
Can a land be ^[a]brought forth through labor pains in one day?
Can a nation be born all at once?
As soon as Zion was in labor pains, she also gave birth to her sons.

¹⁰ For ^(A)cross to the coastlands of ^[a]Kittim and see,
And send to ^(B)Kedar and perceive closely
And see if there has been such a thing as this!
¹¹ Has a nation changed gods
Though ^(C)they were not gods?
But My people have ^(D)changed their glory
For that which does not profit.
