Isaiah 26:14-18
New King James Version
14 They are dead, they will not live;
They are deceased, they will not rise.
Therefore You have punished and destroyed them,
And made all their memory to (A)perish.
15 You have increased the nation, O Lord,
You have (B)increased the nation;
You are glorified;
You have expanded all the [a]borders of the land.
16 Lord, (C)in trouble they have visited You,
They poured out a prayer when Your chastening was upon them.
17 As (D)a woman with child
Is in pain and cries out in her [b]pangs,
When she draws near the time of her delivery,
So have we been in Your sight, O Lord.
18 We have been with child, we have been in pain;
We have, as it were, [c]brought forth wind;
We have not accomplished any deliverance in the earth,
Nor have (E)the inhabitants of the world fallen.

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.
