Isaiah 66:7-9
1599 Geneva Bible
7 Before [a]she travailed, she brought forth: and 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 brought forth in one [b]day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.
9 Shall I [c]cause to travail, and not bring forth? shall I cause to bring forth, and shall be barren, saith thy God?

Isaiah 66:7-9
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.
