Isaiah 26:11-18

11Lord, when Your hand is lifted up, they will not see. But they will see and be ashamed For their envy of people; Yes, the fire of Your enemies shall devour them.

12Lord, You will establish peace for us, For You have also done all our works in us.

13O Lord our God, masters besides You Have had dominion over us; But by You only we make mention of Your name.

14They are dead, they will not live; They are deceased, they will not rise. Therefore You have punished and destroyed them, And made all their memory to perish.

15You have increased the nation, O Lord, You have increased the nation; You are glorified; You have expanded all the borders of the land.

16Lord, in trouble they have visited You, They poured out a prayer when Your chastening was upon them.

17As a woman with child Is in pain and cries out in her pangs, When she draws near the time of her delivery, So have we been in Your sight, O Lord.

18We have been with child, we have been in pain; We have, as it were, brought forth wind; We have not accomplished any deliverance in the earth, Nor have the inhabitants of the world fallen.
