Isaiah 66:6-8

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁶ Listen, a roar from the city!
    A voice from the temple!
The voice of the Lord,
    dealing retribution to his enemies!^(A)

⁷ Before she was in labor
    she gave birth;
before her pain came upon her
    she delivered a son.^(B)
8 Who has heard of such a thing?
    Who has seen such things?
Shall a land be born in one day?
    Shall a nation be delivered in one moment?
Yet as soon as Zion was in labor
    she delivered her children.^(C)
