Isaiah 66:7 in context

  1. 5Hear Yahweh’s word,
    you who tremble at his word:
    “Your brothers who hate you,
    who cast you out for my name’s sake, have said,
    ‘Let Yahweh be glorified,
    that we may see your joy;’
    but it is those who shall be disappointed.
  2. 6A voice of tumult from the city,
    a voice from the temple,
    a voice of Yahweh that repays his enemies what they deserve.
  3. 7“Before she travailed, she gave birth.
    Before her pain came, she delivered a son.
  4. 8Who has heard of such a thing?
    Who has seen such things?
    Shall a land be born in one day?
    Shall a nation be born at once?
    For as soon as Zion travailed,
    she gave birth to her children.
  5. 9Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to be delivered?” says Yahweh.
    “Shall I who cause to give birth shut the womb?” says your God.
