⁷ She said, "Who would have said to Abraham, that Sarah would nurse children? For I have borne him a son in his old age."

¹¹ Now Abraham and Sarah were old, well advanced in age. It had ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.

¹² Sarah laughed within herself, saying, "After I have grown old will I have pleasure, my lord being old also?"

²³ Surely there is no enchantment with Jacob; Neither is there any divination with Israel: Now shall it be said of Jacob and of Israel, What has God done!

³² For ask now of the days that are past, which were before you, since the day that God created man on the earth, and from the one end of the sky to the other, whether there has been [any such thing] as this great thing is, or has been heard like it?

³³ Did ever a people hear the voice of God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as you have heard, and live?

³⁴ Or has God tried to go and take him a nation from the midst of [another] nation, by trials, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by a mighty hand, and by an outstretched arm, and by great terrors, according to all that Yahweh your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes?

⁸ There is no one like you among the gods, Lord, Nor any deeds like your deeds.

¹⁰ For you are great, and do wondrous things. You are God alone.

²¹ Then shall you say in your heart, Who has conceived these for me, seeing I have been bereaved of my children, and am solitary, an exile, and wandering back and forth? and who has brought up these? Behold, I was left alone; these, where were they?

⁸ Who has heard such a thing? who has seen such things? Shall a land be born in one day? shall a nation be brought forth at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.

¹⁰ to the intent that now through the assembly the manifold wisdom of God might be made known to the principalities and the powers in the heavenly places,

¹⁰ when he comes to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired among all those who have believed (because our testimony to you was believed) in that day.
