International Standard Version
Isaiah 26:15-17
International Standard Version
15 “But you have enlarged the nation,[a] Lord;
you have enlarged the nation.[b]
You have gained honor;
you have extended all the borders of the land.
16 Lord, they[c] came to you in distress;
they poured out their secret[d] prayer
when your chastenings were[e] afflicting[f] them.
17 Just as a pregnant woman writhes
and cries out during her labor
when she is about to give birth,
so were we because of you, Lord.
