Isaiah 66:7-8

Rejoice with Jerusalem

7 ^a“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 ^bas soon as Zion was in labor
she brought forth her children.

Micah 4:10

10 ^cWrithe and groan, ^{▼▼Or push} O daughter of Zion,
like a woman in labor,
for ^enow you shall go out from the city
and dwell in the open country;
you ^fshall go to Babylon.
There you shall be rescued;
^gthere the Lord will redeem you
from the hand of your enemies.

Matthew 1:21

21 She will bear a son, and ^hyou shall call his name Jesus, ⁱfor he will save his people from their sins.”
