Isaiah 66:5-7

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

The Lord Vindicates Zion

Your own people who hate you
    and reject you for my name’s sake
have said, “Let the Lord be glorified,
    so that we may see your joy”;
    but it is they who shall be put to shame.

⁶Listen, an uproar from the city!

⁷Before she was in labor

before her pain came upon her
she delivered a son.
