He who sacrifices a lamb, as if he bbreaks a dog’s neck;

And bring their fears on them;
aBecause, when I called, no one answered,
When I spoke they did not hear;
But they did evil before My eyes,
And chose that in which I do not delight.”

The voice of the Lord,
Who fully repays His enemies!
Who has seen such things?
Shall the earth be made to give birth in one day?
Or shall a nation be born at once?
For as soon as Zion was in labor,
She gave birth to her children.
“Shall I who cause delivery shut up the womb?” says your God.
And be glad with her, all you who love her;
Rejoice for joy with her, all you who mourn for her;
