Isaiah 66:5-7

New Century Version

⁵ You people who obey the words of the Lord,
    listen to what he says:
“Your brothers hated you
    and turned against you because you followed me.
Your brothers said, ‘Let the Lord be honored
    so we may see you rejoice,’
    but they will be punished.
⁶ Listen to the loud noise coming from the city;
    hear the noise from the Temple.
It is the Lord punishing his enemies,
    giving them the punishment they should have.

⁷ “A woman does not give birth before she feels the pain;
    she does not give birth to a son before the pain starts.
