7. “A woman does not give birth before she feels the pain.She does not give birth to a son before she feels the pain of birth.
8. No one has ever heard of that happening.No one has ever seen that happen.In the same way no one ever saw a country begin in one day.No one has ever heard of a new nation beginning in one day.But Jerusalem will give birth to her childrenjust as soon as she feels the birth pains.
9. In the same way I will not cause painwithout allowing something new to be born,” says the Lord.“If I cause you the pain,I will not stop you from giving birth to your new nation,” says your God.
