Isaiah 66:7-11
King James Version
7 Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child.
8 Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.
9 Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? saith the Lord: shall I cause to bring forth, and shut the womb? saith thy God.
10 Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all ye that love her: rejoice for joy with her, all ye that mourn for her:
11 That ye may suck, and be satisfied with the breasts of her consolations; that ye may milk out, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory.

Isaiah 66:7-11
New International Version
7 “Before she goes into labor,(A)
she gives birth;
before the pains come upon her,
she delivers a son.(B)
8 Who has ever heard of such things?
Who has ever seen(C) things like this?
Can a country be born in a day(D)
or a nation be brought forth in a moment?
Yet no sooner is Zion in labor
than she gives birth to her children.(E)
9 Do I bring to the moment of birth(F)
and not give delivery?” says the Lord.
“Do I close up the womb
when I bring to delivery?” says your God.
10 “Rejoice(G) with Jerusalem and be glad for her,
all you who love(H) her;
rejoice greatly with her,
all you who mourn(I) over her.
11 For you will nurse(J) and be satisfied
at her comforting breasts;(K)
you will drink deeply
and delight in her overflowing abundance.”(L)
Isaiah 66:7-11
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.
10 “Rejoice with Jerusalem,
And be glad with her, all you who love her;
Rejoice for joy with her, all you who mourn for her;
11 That you may feed and be satisfied
With the consolation of her bosom,
That you may drink deeply and be delighted
With the abundance of her glory.”
