Isaiah 26:17-19
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
17 Like a woman with child
about to give birth
writhes and cries out in her pain,
so were we because of you, O Lord;(A)
18 we were with child; we writhed,
but we gave birth only to wind.
We have won no victories on earth,
and no one is born to inhabit the world.(B)
19 Your dead shall live; their corpses[a] shall rise.
Those who dwell in the dust will awake and shout for joy![b]
For your dew is a radiant dew,
and the earth will give birth to those long dead.[c](C)
