44:19 No one thinks to himself,
nor do they comprehend or understand and say to themselves:
‘I burned half of it in the fire –

the large ships
bringing your sons from far away,
along with their silver and gold,
to honor the Lord your God,
the Holy One of Israel,

Who has ever seen this?

Can a nation be born in a single moment?
Yet as soon as Zion goes into labor she gives birth to sons!
