Isaiah, Chapter 26, verses 16-19

¹⁶

O LORD, they sought You in distress;
They^kcould only whisper a prayer,
Your chastening was upon them.

¹⁷

As the pregnant woman approaches the time to give birth,
She writhes and cries out in her labor pains,
Thus were we before You, O LORD.

¹⁸

We were pregnant, we writhed in labor,
We gave birth, as it seems, only to wind.
We could not accomplish deliverance for the earth,
Nor were inhabitants of the world^lborn.

¹⁹

Your dead will live;
^mTheir corpses will rise.
You who lie in the dust, awake and shout for joy,
For your dew is as the dew of theⁿdawn,
And the earth will^ogive birth to the^pdeparted spirits.
