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.

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.

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;
11 That you may feed and be satisfied
With the consolation of her bosom,
That you may drink deeply and be delighted
With the abundance of her glory.”
With the consolation of her bosom,
That you may drink deeply and be delighted
With the abundance of her glory.”

Articles, Bible studies, and sermons that contain Isaiah 66:8:
66:7-11
That sounds like the vision in Revelation 12, where a woman gave birth to a male Child who was to rule all nations.
Notice that the imagery and the time have moved forward, and now it is not just a single Child to which Zion gives birth, but to children—plural. A whole nation is born at once, and the context is the future restoration of Jerusalem.
