Isaiah 66:5-9

Names of God Bible

Your relatives, who hate you and exclude you for my name’s sake, say,
    “Let Yahweh show his glory; then we will see your joy.”
        But they will be put to shame.
⁶ Listen to the uproar from the city.
    Listen to the sound from the temple.
        It is the sound of Yahweh
            paying back his enemies as they deserve.

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 Yahweh.
    “Do I cause a mother to deliver
    and then make her unable to have children?” asks your Elohim.
