Isaiah 54:1

The Eternal Covenant of Peace

1 ^e“Sing, O barren one, who did not bear;
break forth into singing and cry aloud,
you who have not been in labor!
For the children of ^fthe desolate one ^gwill be more
than the children of her who is married,” says the Lord.

Isaiah 66:7-8

Rejoice with Jerusalem

7 ^h“Before she was in labor
she gave birth;
before her pain came upon her
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 brought forth in one moment?
For ⁱas soon as Zion was in labor
she brought forth her children.

Micah 4:9-10

9 Now why do you cry aloud?
^jIs there no king in you?
^kHas your counselor perished,
that ^lpain seized you like a woman in labor?
10 ^mWrithe and groan, ^{▼▼Or push} O daughter of Zion,
like a woman in labor,
for ^onow you shall go out from the city
and dwell in the open country;
you ^pshall go to Babylon.
There you shall be rescued;
^qthere the Lord will redeem you
from the hand of your enemies.

John 16:20-21

20 Truly, truly, I say to you, ^ryou will weep and lament, but ^sthe world will rejoice. You will be sorrowful, but ^tyour sorrow will turn into joy. 21 ^uWhen a woman is giving birth, she has sorrow because her hour has come, but when she has delivered the baby, she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a human being has been born into the world.
