⁷ She saith also, `Who hath said to Abraham, Sarah hath suckled sons, that I have born a son for his old age?'

¹¹ And Sarah is hearkening at the opening of the tent, which is behind him;

¹² and Abraham and Sarah `are' aged, entering into days -- the way of women hath ceased to be to Sarah;

³² `For, ask, I pray thee, at the former days which have been before thee, from the day that God prepared man on the earth, and from the `one' end of the heavens even unto the `other' end of the heavens, whether there hath been as this great thing -- or hath been heard like it?

³³ Hath a people heard the voice of God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as thou hast heard, thou -- and doth live?

³⁴ Or hath God tried to go in to take to Himself, a nation from the midst of a nation, by trials, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by a strong hand, and by a stretched-out arm, and by great terrors -- according to all that Jehovah your God hath done to you, in Egypt, before your eyes?

⁸ Who hath heard anything like this? Who hath seen anything like these? Is earth caused to bring forth in one day? Born is a nation at once? For she hath been pained, Zion also hath borne her sons.

¹⁰ that there might be made known now to the principalities and the authorities in the heavenly `places', through the assembly, the manifold wisdom of God,

¹⁰ when He may come to be glorified in his saints, and to be wondered at in all those believing -- because our testimony was believed among you -- in that day;
