7 Before she goes into labor, she gives birth! Before her contractions begin, she delivers a boy! 8 Who has ever heard of such a thing? Who has ever seen this? Can a country be brought forth in one day? Can a nation be born in a single moment? Yet as soon as Zion goes into labor she gives birth to sons! 9 Do I bring a baby to the birth opening and then not deliver it?| asks the LORD. |Or do I bring a baby to the point of delivery and then hold it back?| asks your God. 10 Be happy for Jerusalem and rejoice with her, all you who love her! Share in her great joy, all you who have mourned over her! Isaiah 66:7-10, New English Translation. Copyright © 1996-2017 by Biblical Studies Press.
