Isaiah 66:7-9 ▼

7 |Before she goes into labor she gives birth; before her pains come upon her she has delivered a son.

8 Who has ever heard of such a thing? And who ever sees such things? Can a country be born in a single day, or can a nation be brought forth in a single moment? Yet no sooner was Zion in labor than she delivered her children.

9 Am I to open the womb and not deliver?| asks the LORD. |And when I bring to delivery, am I to close the womb?| asks your God.
