Isaiah 66:6-8

New Catholic Bible

⁶ Listen! There is an uproar from the city,
    a voice from the temple.
Such is the sound of the Lord
    bringing retribution to his enemies.

⁷ Before she entered into labor,
    she gave birth.
Before she experienced the birth pains,
    she delivered a son.
⁸ Who ever heard of such a thing?
    Who has ever seen anything like this?
Can a country be born in a single day?
    Can a nation be delivered in a single moment?
Yet Zion was scarcely in labor
    when she brought forth her children.
