New King James Version

You who do not bear!

For the desolate has many more children
Than she who has a husband.”

Until the time that (A)she who is in labor has given birth;
Then (B)the remnant of His brethren

Isaiah 66:7-9
New King James Version
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.
9 Shall I bring to the time of birth, and not cause delivery?” says the Lord.
“Shall I who cause delivery shut up the womb?” says your God.
Isaiah 53:11
New King James Version
11 [a]He shall see the labor of His soul, and be satisfied.
By His knowledge (A)My righteous (B)Servant shall (C)justify many,
For He shall bear their iniquities.
