Isaiah 26:18-20
The Voice
18 We were that woman, laboring to deliver,
but we gave birth only to futility and emptiness.
We couldn’t deliver the earth, save it, renew it.
We couldn’t make it teem with life.
19 But Your dead will live; their lifeless bodies will rise up again!
You who sleep in the dust, get up and shout for joy!
The dew of a new day will wash you glistening fresh,
and the earth will push forth those who had passed before.
20 O my people, hide in your rooms for a time. Shut the doors behind you
and hide away until God’s anger has passed.
Isaiah 26:18-20
New International Version
18 We were with child, we writhed in labor,
but we gave birth(A) to wind.
We have not brought salvation(B) to the earth,
and the people of the world have not come to life.(C)
