Isaiah 26:14-18
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
14 The dead do not live;
shades do not rise
because you have punished and destroyed them
and wiped out all memory of them.(A)
15 But you have increased the nation, O Lord;
you have increased the nation; you are glorified;
you have enlarged all the borders of the land.(B)
16 O Lord, in distress they sought you;
they poured out a prayer[a]
when your chastening was on them.(C)
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;(D)
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.(E)

Isaiah 26:14-18
International Standard Version
14 The dead won’t live,
and[a] the departed spirits won’t rise—
to that end, you punished and destroyed them,
then locked away[b] all memory of them.
15 “But you have enlarged the nation,[c] Lord;
you have enlarged the nation.[d]
You have gained honor;
you have extended all the borders of the land.
16 Lord, they[e] came to you in distress;
they poured out their secret[f] prayer
when your chastenings were[g] afflicting[h] them.
17 Just as a pregnant woman writhes
and cries out during her labor
when she is about to give birth,
so were we because of you, Lord.
18 We were pregnant, writhing in pain,
but we gave birth only to wind.
We have not won your[i] victory on earth,
nor have the inhabitants of the world been born.”
