Isaiah 26:16 BBE

¹⁴  The dead will not come back to life: their spirits will not come back to earth; for this cause you have sent destruction on them, so that the memory of them is dead.

¹⁵  You have made the nation great, O Lord, you have made it great; glory is yours: you have made wide the limits of the land.

¹⁶  Lord, in trouble our eyes have been turned to you, we sent up a prayer when your punishment was on us.

¹⁷  As a woman with child, whose time is near, is troubled, crying out in her pain; so have we been before you, O Lord.

¹⁸  We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have given birth to wind; no salvation has come to the earth through us, and no children have come into the world.
