Zion's Delivery

6 A sound of noise from the city, a sound from the temple, a sound of Jehovah repaying His enemies. 7 Before she travailed, she gave birth; before her pain came, she delivered a man child. 8 Who has heard a thing like this? Who has seen things like these? Will the earth be brought forth in one day? Or will a nation be born at once? For Zion travailed and also brought forth her sons.
