READ IN CONTEXT · BSB

Isaiah 26

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.

19 Your dead will live; their bodies will rise. Awake and sing, you who dwell in the dust! For your dew is like the dew of the morning, and the earth will bring forth her dead.

20 Go, my people, enter your rooms and shut your doors behind you. Hide yourselves a little while until the wrath has passed.
