Isaiah 26:16 In-Context
14
The dead do not live; shades do not rise— because you have punished and destroyed them, and wiped out all memory of them.
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.
16
O Lord, in distress they sought you, they poured out a prayer when your chastening was on them.
17
Like a woman with child, who writhes and cries out in her pangs when she is near her time, so were we because of you, O Lord;
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.
