Isaiah 66:5-14

⁵ Hear the word of the Lord , you who tremble at His word : "Your brothers who hate you, who exclude you for My name's sake , Have said , 'Let the Lord be glorified , that we may see your joy .' But they will be put to shame . ⁶ "A voice of uproar from the city , a voice from the temple , The voice of the Lord who is rendering recompense to His enemies . ⁷ "Before she travailed , she brought forth ; Before her pain came , she gave birth to a boy . ⁸ " Who has heard such a thing ? Who has seen such things? Can a land be born in one day ? Can a nation be brought forth all at once e ? As soon as Zion travailed , she also brought forth her sons . ⁹ "Shall I bring to the point of birth and not give delivery ?" says the Lord . "Or shall I who gives delivery shut the womb?" says your God . ¹⁰ "Be joyful with Jerusalem and rejoice for her, all you who love her; Be exceedingly glad with her, all you who mourn over her, ¹¹ That you may nurse and be satisfied with her comforting breasts , That you may suck and be delighted with her bountiful bosom ." ¹² For thus says the Lord , "Behold , I extend peace to her like a river , And the glory of the nations like an overflowing stream ; And you will be nursed , you will be carried on the hip and fondled on the knees . ¹³ "As one whom his mother comforts , so I will comfort you; And you will be comforted in Jerusalem ." ¹⁴ Then you will see this, and your heart will be glad , And your bones will flourish like the new grass ; And the hand of the Lord will be made known to His servants , But He will be indignant toward His enemies .
