MLV(i)
7 Before she travailed, she brought forth. Before her pain came, she was delivered of a male-child.
8 Who has heard such a thing? Who has seen such things? Shall a land be born in one day? Shall a nation be brought out at once? For as soon as Zion travailed, she brought out her sons.
9 Shall I bring to the birth and not cause to bring forth? says Jehovah. Shall I who cause to bring forth shut the womb? says your God.
