Isaiah 26:14-18
New American Standard Bible
14 (A)The dead will not live, the [a]departed spirits will not rise;
Therefore You have (B)punished and destroyed them,
And You have eliminated all remembrance of them.
15 (C)You have increased the nation, Lord,
You have increased the nation, You are glorified;
You have (D)extended all the borders of the land.
16 Lord, they sought You (E)in distress;
They [b]could only whisper a prayer,
Your discipline was upon them.
17 (F)As the pregnant woman approaches the time to give birth,
She writhes and cries out in her labor pains;
This is how we were before You, Lord.
18 We were pregnant, we writhed in labor,
We (G)gave birth, as it seems, only to wind.
We could not accomplish deliverance for the earth,
Nor were (H)inhabitants of the world [c]born.

Isaiah 26:14-18
American Standard Version
14 [a]They are dead, they shall not live; they are [b]deceased, they shall not rise: therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them, and made all remembrance of them to perish. 15 Thou hast increased the nation, O Jehovah, thou hast increased the nation; thou art glorified; [c]thou hast enlarged all the borders of the land.
16 Jehovah, in trouble have they [d]visited thee; they poured out a [e]prayer when thy chastening was upon them. 17 Like as a woman with child, that draweth near the time of her delivery, is in pain and crieth out in her pangs; so we have been [f]before thee, O Jehovah. 18 We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have as it were brought forth wind; we have not wrought any deliverance in the earth; [g]neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen.
