Isaiah 26:14-18
Amplified Bible
14
The [wicked] dead will not live [again], the spirits of the dead will not rise and return;
Therefore You have punished and destroyed them,
And You have wiped out every memory of them [every trace of them].
15
You have increased the nation, O Lord;
You have increased the nation, You are glorified;
You have extended all the borders of the land.
16
O Lord, they sought You in distress;
They managed only a prayerful whisper
When Your discipline was upon them.
17
As a woman with child approaches the time to give birth,
She is in pain and struggles and cries out in her labor,
So we were before You, O Lord.
18
We have been with child, we have twisted and struggled in labor;
We gave birth, as it seems, only to wind.
We could not accomplish salvation for the earth,
Nor were inhabitants of the world [a]born.
