The Lord Vindicates Zion
5 Hear the word of the Lord,
You who tremble at His word:
“Your brethren who ahated you,
Who cast you out for My name’s sake, said,
b‘Let the Lord be glorified,
That cwe may see your joy.’
But they shall be ashamed.”

But they shall be ashamed.”
6 The sound of noise from the city!
A voice from the temple!
The voice of the Lord,
Who fully repays His enemies!
A voice from the temple!
The voice of the Lord,
Who fully repays His enemies!
8 Who has heard such a thing?
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.
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.
9 Shall I bring to the time of birth, and not cause delivery?” says the Lord.
“Shall I who cause delivery shut up the womb?” says your God.
“Shall I who cause delivery shut up the womb?” says your God.
10 “Rejoice with Jerusalem,
And be glad with her, all you who love her;
Rejoice for joy with her, all you who mourn for her;
And be glad with her, all you who love her;
Rejoice for joy with her, all you who mourn for her;
