14. They are dead, they shall not live; they are deceased, they shall not rise: therefore have you visited and destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish.
15. You have increased the nation, O LORD, you have increased the nation: you are glorified: you have enlarged all the borders of the land.
16. LORD, in trouble have they visited you, they poured out a prayer when your chastening was upon them.
17. Like a woman with child, that draws near the time of her delivery, is in pain, and cries out in her pangs; so have we been in your sight, O LORD.
18. We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have as it were given birth to wind; we have not accomplished any deliverance in the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen.
