7 Before she is in labor, she gives birth; Before her pangs come upon her, she delivers a male child. 8 Who ever heard of such a thing, or who ever saw the like? Can a land be brought forth in one day, or a nation be born in a single moment? Yet Zion was scarcely in labor when she bore her children. 9 Shall I bring a mother to the point of birth, and yet not let her child be born? says the LORD. Or shall I who bring to birth yet close her womb? says your God. Isaiah 66:7-9, New American Bible Revised. Copyright © 2010 USCCB.
