Isaiah 26:16 Lord, in trouble have they visited thee, they poured out a prayer when thy chastening was upon them. MC VC

Isaiah 26:17 Like as a woman with child, that draweth near the time of her delivery, is in pain, and crieth out in her pangs; so have we been in thy sight, O Lord. MC VC

Isaiah 26:18 We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have as it were brought forth wind; we have not wrought any deliverance in the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen. MC VC
