They told him,“ This is what Hezekiah says: This day is a day of distress and rebuke and disgrace, as when children come to the moment of birth and there is no strength to deliver them.

They told Isaiah,“ Hezekiah says,‘ Today we’re in great trouble. The Lord is warning us. He’s bringing shame on us. Sometimes babies come to the moment when they should be born. But their mothers aren’t strong enough to allow them to be born. Today we are like those mothers. We aren’t strong enough to save ourselves.

They said to him,“ Thus says Hezekiah, This day is a day of distress, of rebuke, and of disgrace; children have come to the point of birth, and there is no strength to bring them forth.

They said to him,“ This is what Hezekiah says:‘ Today is a day of distress, rebuke, and disgrace, for children have come to the point of birth, but there is no strength to deliver them.

When you discipline us for our sins, you consume like a moth what is precious to us. Each of us is but a breath. Interlude

This is what the Lord says:“ I hear cries of fear; there is terror and no peace.Now let me ask you a question: Do men give birth to babies? Then why do they stand there, ashen faced, hands pressed against their sides like a woman in labor?In all history there has never been such a time of terror. It will be a time of trouble for my people Israel. Yet in the end they will be saved!

Pain has come to the people like the pain of childbirth, but they are like a child who resists being born. The moment of birth has arrived, but they stay in the womb!

Just as a pregnant woman writhes and cries out in pain as she gives birth, so were we in your presence, Lord.We, too, writhe in agony, but nothing comes of our suffering. We have not given salvation to the earth, nor brought life into the world.

Have mercy on us, Lord, have mercy, for we have had our fill of contempt.We have had more than our fill of the scoffing of the proud and the contempt of the arrogant.

This is what the king says: Don’t let Hezekiah deceive you. He will never be able to rescue you from my power.

Remember what it says:“ Today when you hear his voice, don’t harden your hearts as Israel did when they rebelled.”And who was it who rebelled against God, even though they heard his voice? Wasn’t it the people Moses led out of Egypt?

Would I ever bring this nation to the point of birth and then not deliver it?” asks the Lord.“ No! I would never keep this nation from being born,” says your God.

Then I will return to my place until they admit their guilt and turn to me. For as soon as trouble comes, they will earnestly search for me.”“ Come, let us return to the Lord. He has torn us to pieces; now he will heal us. He has injured us; now he will bandage our wounds.

The Lord says,“ Don’t harden your hearts as Israel did at Meribah, as they did at Massah in the wilderness.
