Isaiah 66:7-9 Expanded Bible (EXB) 7 “·A woman does not give birth [LShe gives birth; Calluding to Jerusalem/Zion; v. 8] before she ·feels the pain [goes into labor]; she ·does not give birth to a son [delivers a son/child] before the pain starts. 8 ·No one has ever [LWho has…?] heard of that happening; ·no one has ever [LWho has…?] seen that happen. ·In the same way no one ever saw [LCan…?] a country ·begin [be born] in one day; ·no one has ever heard of a new nation beginning [Lcan a nation be brought forth…?] in one moment. But ·Jerusalem [LZion; Cthe location of the Temple] will give birth to her children just as soon as she feels the birth pains [Cthe rebirth of the nation will be sudden and unexpected]. 9 ·In the same way I will not cause pain [LWill I bring one to the moment of birth…?] without allowing something new to be born,” says the Lord. “If I cause you ·the pain [to deliver], ·I will not stop you from giving birth to your new nation [Lwill I (now) close the womb?],” says your God.
