ISAIAH. Cu. 66. ODE. 6g, Boom: II. IO II I2 16 18 20 Before she was anguished, she childed, Before she had come to her torture, She brought forth a son! Who has heard such a thing? Who has seen it like that? For the earth to produce in a day l In a moment a Nation be born ? Thus Zion travai1ed,—-·thus brought forth her sons! Shall I produce, and not cause to be born ? ’ Asks the Loan? ‘ If I cause the birth, why restrain P' Asks your GOD. Be glad with jerusalem, and laugh all her friends, Bring joy upon joy, all who mourned over her; You shall suck and be fed from her comforting breast; You shall press out sweet food from her plentiful store 3 For thus says the Loran;

Like a river I clothe her in peace, Wealth of Nations pour out like a brook You shall suck and be borne, And be danced on their knees! As a man by his mother is cheered, I, Myself, will cheer you, And you in ]erusalem rejoice. You shall see, and be glad in your hearts, And your vigour shall grow like the grass, And the LORD’s hand be shown to His Servants, And His wrath to His foes,

For, see, the Loan coming like tire, And His Chariot rush on like the wind, 'I`0 send forth His anger in heat, And His wrath like the dame of a hre; For by Hre the LGRD will decide, And the whole of mankind by His heat, And the many the LORD will destroy. ‘ Those who give, and devote in the gardens to Akhad,1 Amongst eaters of flesh of thehog, Along with the rat and the mouse, says the LGRD, ‘ For I know? their plans and their tricks. ‘ And then I will come to collect all the heathen, and tongues, Who will stand and shall gaze on My might. And I will give to them a Standard, And send to the Nations in troops, To '1`arshish, and Pul and to Lud, who draw bows, To Tubal, and Ion, the far distant shores, Who have not heard My News, and have not seen My Power, And My Glory will tell to those Tribes; And from all the heathen your brothers bring back, ode, ¢¤ site meaning *° the text.
