Isaiah 26:14-18
1599 Geneva Bible
14 The [a]dead shall not live, neither shall the dead arise, because thou hast visited and scattered them, and destroyed all their memory.
15 Thou hast increased [b]the nation, O Lord: thou hast increased the nation: thou art made glorious, thou hast enlarged all the coasts of the earth.
16 Lord, in trouble have they [c]visited thee: they poured out a prayer when thy chastening was upon them.
17 Like as a woman with child, that draweth near to the travail, is in sorrow, and crieth in her pains, so have we been in thy [d]sight, O Lord.
18 We have conceived, we have born in pain, as though we should have brought forth [e]wind: there was no help in the earth, neither did the inhabitants of [f]the world fall.
