“Before she travailed, she gave birth.Before her pain came, she delivered a son.”
Isaiah 66:7 (WEB)
Context Reading
5Hear Yahweh’s word,you who tremble at his word:“Your brothers who hate you,who cast you out for my name’s sake, have said,‘Let Yahweh be glorified,that we may see your joy;’but it is those who shall be disappointed. 6A voice of tumult from the city,a voice from the temple,a voice of Yahweh that repays his enemies what they deserve. 7“Before she travailed, she gave birth.Before her pain came, she delivered a son. 8Who has heard of such a thing?Who has seen such things?Shall a land be born in one day?Shall a nation be born at once?For as soon as Zion travailed,she gave birth to her children. 9Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to be delivered?” says Yahweh.“Shall I who cause to give birth shut the womb?” says your God.
