Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? saith the LORD: shall I cause to bring forth, and shut the womb? saith thy God.

Shall I cause to bring forth, and shut (the womb)? - rather, 'shall I who beget restrain the birth?' (Lowth) ( ; ); i:e., shall I who have begun, not finish my work of restoring Israel? (; ; .)

Shut - (cf. Revelation 3:7.)
