Thus says the Prophet

September 23, 2006 |

No, not that prophet. Prophet Isaiah, one of the real ones:

A voice of the people from the city, a voice from the temple, the voice of the Lord that rendereth recompense to his enemies.
Before she was in labour she brought forth; before her time came to be delivered, she brought forth a man child.
Who hath ever heard such a thing? and who hath seen the like to this? shall the earth bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be brought forth at once, because Sion hath been in labour, and hath brought forth her children?
Shall not I that make others to bring forth children, myself bring forth, saith the Lord? shall I, that give generation to others, be barren, saith the Lord thy God?
Rejoice with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all you that love her: rejoice for joy with her, all you that mourn for her.

Isaias 66: 7-10

This from the venerable Douay-Rheims translation.
