Isaiah 26:16-18

Names of God Bible

¹⁶ O Yahweh, the people have come to you in trouble.
    They were humbled by oppression, by your discipline upon them.^[a]
17 O Yahweh, when we are with you,
    we are like pregnant women ready to give birth.
        They writhe and cry out in their labor pains.
¹⁸ We were pregnant; we writhed with labor pains
    only to give birth to the wind.
    We weren’t able to bring salvation to the land,
        and no new people were born on earth.
