Isaiah 26:15-17
EasyEnglish Bible

15 Lord, you have made our nation larger. You have made our nation larger and you have shown how great you are. You have made all the borders of our land grow bigger.

A sad prayer

16 Lord, when your people had trouble, they came to you for help. When you punished them, they turned to you and they prayed.

17 Because of your punishment, Lord, we had much pain. We were like a woman who is giving birth and she cries out with pain.

New International Version

15 You have enlarged the nation, Lord;
    you have enlarged the nation.(A)
You have gained glory for yourself;
    you have extended all the borders(B) of the land.

16 Lord, they came to you in their distress;(C)
    when you disciplined(D) them,
    they could barely whisper(E) a prayer.[a]
17 As a pregnant woman about to give birth(F)
    writhes and cries out in her pain,
    so were we in your presence, Lord.
