Isaiah 66:6-8
New King James Version
6 The sound of noise from the city!
A voice from the temple!
The voice of the Lord,
Who fully repays His enemies!
7 “Before she was in labor, she gave birth;
Before her pain came,
She delivered a male child.
8 Who has heard such a thing?
Who has seen such things?
Shall the earth be made to give birth in one day?
Or shall a nation be born at once?
For as soon as Zion was in labor,
She gave birth to her children.
Isaiah 66:6-8
English Standard Version
6 “The sound of an uproar from the city!
A sound from the temple!
The sound of the Lord,
(A)rendering recompense to his enemies!
Rejoice with Jerusalem
7 (B)“Before she was in labor
she gave birth;
before her pain came upon her
she delivered a son.
8 Who has heard such a thing?
Who has seen such things?
Shall a land be born in one day?
Shall a nation be brought forth in one moment?
For (C)as soon as Zion was in labor
she brought forth her children.
