Isaiah 26:16

Yahweh's People Vindicated

¹⁵ You have increased the nation, O Lord,
You have increased the nation, You are glorified;
You have extended all the borders of the land.
¹⁶ O Lord, they sought You in distress;
They could 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.
