 Who heard ever such a thing, and who saw a thing like this? Whether the earth shall travail of child in one day, either a folk shall be childed together? For why Zion travailed of child, and childed her sons. Whoever heard of such a thing, and whoever saw something like this? Shall a whole country be born after just one days labour, or shall an entire nation be born together? But Zion went into labour, and gave birth to her children all at once.
