Isaiah 26:16

Yahweh's People Vindicated

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, they sought You in distress;
They could only whisper a prayer,
Your chastening was upon them.
¹⁷ Like a pregnant woman who writhes and cries out in her pangs when she is near to giving birth, so were we because of you, O LORD;
