Isaiah 66:6-8
1599 Geneva Bible
6 [a]A voice soundeth from the city, even a voice from the Temple, the voice of the Lord, that recompenseth his enemies fully.
7 Before [b]she travailed, she brought forth: and 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 brought forth in one [c]day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.
