^8 (A)Who has heard such a thing? Who has seen such things?
Can a land be ^[a]born in one day?
Can a nation be given birth all at once?
As soon as Zion was in labor, she also delivered her sons.

¹⁰ For ^(A)cross to the coastlands of ^[a]Kittim and see,
And send to ^(B)Kedar and observe closely,
And see if there has been anything like this!

¹¹ Has a nation changed gods,
When ^(A)they were not gods?
But My people have ^(B)exchanged their glory
For that which is of no benefit.
