Isaiah 66:7-10
English Standard Version Anglicised
Rejoice with Jerusalem
7 (A)“Before she was in labour
she gave birth;
before her pain came upon her
she delivered a son.
8 Who has heard such a thing?
Who has seen such things?
Shall a land be born in one day?
Shall a nation be brought forth in one moment?
For (B)as soon as Zion was in labour
she brought forth her children.
9 Shall I bring to the point of birth and not cause to bring forth?”
says the Lord;
“shall I, who cause to bring forth, shut the womb?”
says your God.
10 (C)“Rejoice with Jerusalem, and be glad for her,
all you who love her;
rejoice with her in joy,
all you who mourn over her;

Isaiah 66:7-10
New International Version
7 “Before she goes into labor,(A)
she gives birth;
before the pains come upon her,
she delivers a son.(B)
8 Who has ever heard of such things?
Who has ever seen(C) things like this?
Can a country be born in a day(D)
or a nation be brought forth in a moment?
Yet no sooner is Zion in labor
than she gives birth to her children.(E)
9 Do I bring to the moment of birth(F)
and not give delivery?” says the Lord.
“Do I close up the womb
when I bring to delivery?” says your God.
10 “Rejoice(G) with Jerusalem and be glad for her,
all you who love(H) her;
rejoice greatly with her,
all you who mourn(I) over her.

Isaiah 66:7-10
King James Version
7 Before she travailed, she brought forth; 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 made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.
9 Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? saith the Lord: shall I cause to bring forth, and shut the womb? saith thy God.
10 Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all ye that love her: rejoice for joy with her, all ye that mourn for her:
