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

The Emphasised Bible by J. B. Rotherham

In The King James Version

Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child.

In Context

6The sound of a tumult—out of the city, A sound, out of the temple,—The sound of Yahweh rendering recompense to his foes.

8Who hath heard the like of this? Who hath seen the like of these things? Can a land, be made to bring forth in one day? Or a nation, be born, at one time? As soon as she travaileth, Zion hath also given birth to her children.
