Isaiah 66:6-8

New International Reader's Version

⁷ “Zion is like a woman who has a baby
    before she goes into labor.
She has a son
    even before her labor pains begin.
⁸ Who has ever heard of anything like that?
    Who has ever seen such a thing?
Can a country be born in a day?
    Can a nation be created in a moment?
But as soon as Zion goes into labor,
    there are many more of her people.
