Isaiah 26:16
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
O LORD, they sought You in their distress; when You disciplined them, they poured out a quiet prayer.
In context
14 The dead will not live; the departed spirits will not rise. Therefore You have punished and destroyed them; You have wiped out all memory of them.
15 You have enlarged the nation, O LORD; You have enlarged the nation. You have gained glory for Yourself; You have extended all the borders of the land.
16 O LORD, they sought You in their distress; when You disciplined them, they poured out a quiet prayer.
17 As a woman with child about to give birth writhes and cries out in pain, so were we in Your presence, O LORD.
18 We were with child; we writhed in pain; but we gave birth to wind. We have given no salvation to the earth, nor brought any life into the world.
