17 Just as a pregnant woman writhes and cries out during her labor when she is about to give birth, so were we because of you, LORD. 18 We were pregnant, writhing in pain, but we gave birth only to wind. We have not won your victory on earth, nor have the inhabitants of the world been born.| 19 |But your dead will live; their bodies will rise. Those who live in the dust will wake up and shout for joy! For your dew is like the dew of dawn, and the earth will give birth to the dead. 20 Come, my people, enter your rooms and shut your doors behind you. Hide yourselves for a little while until the fury has passed by. 21 For see, the LORD is coming from his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their sins; the earth will reveal the blood that has been shed on it, and will no longer conceal its slain.| Isaiah 26:17-21, Intl.
