⁷ Before her pains came, she gave birth; before her pains, she gave birth to a man-child.

¹ Let your voice be loud in song, O woman without children; make melody and sounds of joy, you who did not give birth: for the children of her who had no husband are more than those of the married wife, says the Lord.

²⁶ But the Jerusalem on high is free, which is our mother.

¹ And a great sign was seen in heaven: a A woman clothed with the sun, and with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.

² And she was with child; and she gave a cry, in the pains of childbirth.

³ And there was seen another sign in heaven; a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads seven crowns.

⁴ And his tail was pulling a third part of the stars of heaven down to the earth, and the dragon took his place before the woman who was about to give birth, so that when the birth had taken place he might put an end to her child.

⁵ And she gave birth to a son, a male child, who was to have rule over all the nations with a rod of iron: and her child was taken up to God and to his high seat.
