Isaiah 66:7-12

WEB · Bible Passage

Bible Text

[7] Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man-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 forth at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children. [9] Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? says Yahweh: shall I who cause to bring forth shut [the womb]? says your God. [10] Rejoice you with Jerusalem, and be glad for her, all you who love her: rejoice for joy with her, all you who mourn over her; [11] that you may suck and be satisfied with the breasts of her consolations; that you may milk out, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory. [12] For thus says Yahweh, Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the nations like an overflowing stream: and you shall suck [of it]; you shall be borne on the side, and shall be dandled on the knees.
