Isaiah 66:5-7

Revised Standard Version

The Lord Vindicates Zion

⁵Hear the word of the Lord,
    you who tremble at his word:
“Your brethren who hate you
    and cast you out for my name’s sake
have said, ‘Let the Lord be glorified,
    that we may see your joy’;
    but it is they who shall be put to shame.

⁶“Hark, an uproar from the city!
A voice from the temple!
The voice of the Lord,
rendering recompense to his enemies!

⁷“Before she was in labor
she gave birth;
before her pain came upon her
she was delivered of a son.
