Isaiah 66:6

The sound of a tumult—out of the city, A sound, out of the temple,—The sound of Yahweh rendering recompense to his foes.

The Emphasised Bible by J. B. Rotherham

In The King James Version

A voice of noise from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of the LORD that rendereth recompence to his enemies.

7Before she travaileth, she hath brought forth,—Before her pains come to her, she hath given birth to a man-child!
