5 Hear the word of the Lord, ye that tremble at his word; Your brethren that hate you, that deny you for my name’s sake, said, Let the Lord be glorified; but he shall appear to your joy, and they shall be ashamed.
6 A voice of noise from the city, a voice of the temple, a voice of the Lord that renders recompense to his enemies.
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 the earth bring forth in one day? Shall an entire nation be born at once? that Zion travailed, and shall bring forth her sons together?
9 I, who make births to happen, shall I not be with child? saith the Lord; I, who causes conception, shall I be stopped? saith thy God.
10 Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all ye that love her: be filled with joy with her, all ye that mourn for her:
11 That ye may suck, and be satisfied with the breasts of her consolations; that ye may milk out, and be delighted with the splendour of her glory.
