Isaiah 26:16-18
Legacy Standard Bible
16 O Yahweh, they visited You (A)in distress;
They [a]could only whisper a prayer;
Your chastening was upon them.
17 (B)As the [b]woman with child draws near to the time to give birth,
She writhes and cries out in her pangs of labor,
Thus were we before You, O Yahweh.
18 We were [c]with child, we writhed in labor;
We (C)gave birth, as it seems, only to wind.
We could not accomplish salvation for the earth,
And the (D)inhabitants of the world [d]were not born.
