The Sudden Restoration of Zion

7

“Before she travailed, she gave birth; before her pain came, she delivered a son.

8

Who has heard such a thing? who has seen such things? Shall a land be born in one day? shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she gave birth to her children.

9

Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to be delivered?” says the LORD: “shall I who cause to give birth shut the womb?” says your God.

10

“Rejoice 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 nurse and be satisfied at the comforting breasts; that you may drink deeply, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory.”

12

For thus says the LORD, “Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the nations like an overflowing stream: and you will nurse. You will be carried on her side, and will be dandled on her knees.

13

As one whom his mother comforts, so will I comfort you; and you will be comforted in Jerusalem.”

14

You will see it, and your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like the tender grass: and the hand of the LORD shall be known toward his servants; and he will have indignation against his enemies.
