NASB
"O LORD, they sought You in distress; They could only whisper a prayer, Your chastening was upon them."
— Isaiah 26:16, NASB
“Lord, in trouble have they visited thee, they poured out a prayer when thy chastening was upon them.”
“Jehovah, in trouble have they visited thee; they poured out a prayer when thy chastening was upon them. ”
“Yahweh, in trouble they have visited you. They poured out a prayer when your chastening was on them.”
“O LORD, in distress they looked for you; they uttered incantations because of your discipline.”
“Lord, they have sought after thee in distress, in the tribulation of murmuring thy instruction was with them.”
“Lord, in trouble our eyes have been turned to you, we sent up a prayer when your punishment was on us.”
“Lord, in trouble have they visited thee, they poured out a prayer when thy chastening was upon them.”
O LORD our God, other masters besides You have ruled us; But through You alone we confess Your name.
The dead will not live, the departed spirits will not rise; Therefore You have punished and destroyed them, And You have wiped out all remembrance of them.
You have increased the nation, O LORD, You have increased the nation, You are glorified; You have extended all the borders of the land.
O LORD, they sought You in distress; They could only whisper a prayer, Your chastening was upon them.
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.
We were pregnant, we writhed in labor, We gave birth, as it seems, only to wind. We could not accomplish deliverance for the earth, Nor were inhabitants of the world born.
Your dead will live; Their corpses will rise. You who lie in the dust, awake and shout for joy, For your dew is as the dew of the dawn, And the earth will give birth to the departed spirits.
