New Testament

Isaiah 26:14-18 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

14. Those dead lords will not come to life. Those ghosts will not rise from death. You decided to destroy them, and you destroyed everything that makes us think about them.

15. Lord, you have helped the nation you love. You made our nation grow and brought honor to yourself.

16. Lord, people remember you when they are in trouble. So because of your punishment, we called out to you.

17. Lord, because of you we were in pain, like a woman giving birth, who struggles and cries out when it is time.

18. But we struggled in pain for nothing. We gave birth only to wind. We did nothing to save the land. No one was born to live in the world.
