Isaiah 26:17KJV
Protestant Bible · KJV · Verse 17 of 21
"Like as a woman with child, draweth near the time of her delivery, is in pain, crieth out in her pangs; so have we been in thy sight, O LORD."
In context
15Thou hast increased the nation, O LORD, thou hast increased the nation: thou art glorified: thou hadst removed far all the ends of the earth.
16LORD, in trouble have they visited thee, they poured out a prayer thy chastening upon them.
17Like as a woman with child, draweth near the time of her delivery, is in pain, crieth out in her pangs; so have we been in thy sight, O LORD.
18We 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; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen.
19Thy dead shall live, my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead.
