Isaiah 26:16-18
New American Standard Bible 1995
16 O Lord, they sought You (A)in distress;
They [a]could only whisper a prayer,
Your chastening was upon them.
17 (B)As the pregnant woman approaches the time to give birth,
She writhes and cries out in her labor pains,
Thus were we before You, O Lord.
18 We were pregnant, we writhed in labor,
We (C)gave birth, as it seems, only to wind.
We could not accomplish deliverance for the earth,
Nor were (D)inhabitants of the world [b]born.
