8Who has heard such a thing? Who has seen such things? Can a land be born in one day? Can a nation be given birth all at once?

'Or shall I who gives delivery shut the womb?' says your God.King James Version

Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children. 9Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? saith the LORD: shall I cause to bring forth, and shut the womb? saith thy God.Christian Standard Bible

" says your God.New Living Translation

But by the time Jerusalem’s birth pains begin, her children will be born. 9Would I ever bring this nation to the point of birth and then not deliver it?' asks the Lord. 'No! I would never keep this nation from being born,' says your God.English Standard Version
