Isaiah 66:7-9

Good News Translation

^7 (A)“My holy city is like a woman who suddenly gives birth to a child without ever going into labor. ⁸ Has anyone ever seen or heard of such a thing? Has a nation ever been born in a day? Zion will not have to suffer long, before the nation is born. ⁹ Do not think that I will bring my people to the point of birth and not let them be born.” The Lord has spoken.
