Isaiah 26:17-18
New American Standard Bible

17 (A)As the pregnant woman approaches the time to give birth,
She writhes and cries out in her labor pains;
This is how we were before You, Lord.
18 We were pregnant, we writhed in labor,
We (B)gave birth, as it seems, only to wind.
We could not accomplish deliverance for the earth,
Nor were (C)inhabitants of the world [a]born.

17 As a pregnant woman about to give birth(A)
    writhes and cries out in her pain,

    but we gave birth(B) to wind.
We have not brought salvation(C) to the earth,
    and the people of the world have not come to life.(D)
