Isaiah 26:17-19
New American Standard Bible 1995
17 (A)As the pregnant woman approaches the time to give birth,
She writhes and cries out in her labor pains,
Thus were we before You, O Lord.
18 We were pregnant, we writhed in labor,
We (B)gave birth, as it seems, only to wind.
We could not accomplish deliverance for the earth,
Nor were (C)inhabitants of the world [a]born.
19 Your (D)dead will live;
[b]Their corpses will rise.
You who lie in the dust, (E)awake and shout for joy,
For your dew is as the dew of the [c]dawn,
And the earth will [d]give birth to the [e]departed spirits.
