Isaias

16 Lord, in trouble have they inquired for thee; they uttered a whisper]; thy correction was upon them.

17 Like as a woman with child, that draweth near the time of her delivery, doth writhe, crieth out in her pangs; so were we at thy presence, O Loan.

18 We were with child, we writhed, we brought forth as it were wind; we wrought not salvation (for) the earth, neither have inhabitants of the earth fallen.
