Isaiah 66:8-10

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

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 as soon as Zion was in labor
    she brought forth her sons.
⁹ Shall I bring to the birth and not cause to bring forth?
    says the Lord;
shall I, who cause to bring forth, shut the womb?
    says your God.
