Isaiah 26:15-17

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁵ You have expanded the nation, O Lord.
You have expanded the nation.
You are honored.
You have extended all the land’s boundaries.
¹⁶ O Lord, the people have come to you in trouble.
They were humbled by oppression, by your discipline upon them.
¹⁷ O Lord, when we are with you,
we are like pregnant women ready to give birth.
They writhe and cry out in their labor pains.
