We were pregnant and groaned with pain. But nothing was born. We didn’t bring your saving power to the earth. And the people of the world have not come to life.

我们也曾怀孕疼痛，所产的竟像风一样。我们在地上未曾行什么拯救的事；世上的居民也未曾败落。

我们曾怀孕，曾疼痛，所生产的竟像风一样，并未带给地上任何拯救；世上也未曾有居民生下来。

我们曾怀孕，曾疼痛，所生产的竟像风一样，并未带给地上任何拯救；世上也未曾有居民生下来。

我们曾怀胎，痛苦呻吟，但产下来的却是一阵风。我们没有给世界带来拯救，也没有给世上带来生命。

我们也曾像怀孕一般疼痛，但所生的像风；我们未曾在地上行过拯救的事，世上的居民也未曾因我们生下来。

我们也曾怀孕、挣扎，但生下来的却像风一样；我们没有给地上带来拯救，世上的居民也没有生出。

我們也曾懷孕疼痛，所產的竟像風一樣。我們在地上未曾行甚麼拯救的事；世上的居民也未曾敗落。

我們曾懷孕，曾疼痛，所生產的竟像風一樣，並未帶給地上任何拯救；世上也未曾有居民生下來。

我們曾懷孕，曾疼痛，所生產的竟像風一樣，並未帶給地上任何拯救；世上也未曾有居民生下來。

我們曾懷胎，痛苦呻吟，但產下來的卻是一陣風。我們沒有給世界帶來拯救，也沒有給世上帶來生命。

我們也曾像懷孕一般疼痛，但所生的像風；我們未曾在地上行過拯救的事，世上的居民也未曾因我們生下來。

我們也曾懷着孕，翻騰絞痛，竟彷彿是生了風；我們未曾在地上施行任何拯救的事；也沒有世人由我們而生下來。

我們也曾懷孕、掙扎，但生下來的卻像風一樣；我們沒有給地上帶來拯救，世上的居民也沒有生出。

懷妊劬勞、所產若風、未行拯救於地、未生居世之民、

譬諸懷妊、亦甚艱難、而所產惟風、我不得拯救斯邦、民不能免於艱苦、

我儕如孕婦、臨產劬勞、所產竟虛空如風、所產竟虛空如風或作所產惟風國仍不得救、守宙居民、亦不傾敗、宇宙居民亦不傾敗或作居民不增益其中

We were with child, we writhed in labor, but we gave birth to wind. We have not brought salvation to the earth, and the people of the world have not come to life.

we were pregnant, we writhed, but we have given birth to wind. We have accomplished no deliverance in the earth, and the inhabitants of the world have not fallen.

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.

We became pregnant, we writhed in pain; we gave birth to wind. We have won no victories on earth, and the earth’s inhabitants have not fallen.

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.

We have been with child, we have been in pain; We have, as it were, brought forth wind; We have not accomplished any deliverance in the earth, Nor have the inhabitants of the world fallen.

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.

We were pregnant, we strained, we gave birth, as it were, to wind. We cannot produce deliverance on the earth; people to populate the world are not born.

We have been with child. We have been in pain. We gave birth, it seems, only to wind. We have not worked any deliverance in the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen.

Lord, by your power save me from people like that. They belong to this world. They get their reward in this life. May what you have stored up for evil people fill their bellies. May their children’s stomachs be filled with it. And may there even be leftovers for their little ones.

Assyria, your plans and actions are like straw. Your anger is a fire that will destroy you.

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 give birth to them. Today we are like those mothers. We aren’t strong enough to save ourselves.

They will suffer pain like a woman having a baby. They are like foolish children. It is time for them to be born. But they don’t have the sense to come out of their mother’s body.

People aren’t fair when they present cases in court. They aren’t honest when they state their case. They depend on weak arguments. They tell lies. They plan to make trouble. Then they carry it out.

But Saul said,“ No one will be put to death today! After all, this is the day the Lord has rescued Israel.”

Joshua said,“ Lord and King, why did you ever bring these people across the Jordan River? Did you want to hand us over to the Amorites? Did you want them to destroy us? I wish we had been content to stay on the other side of the Jordan!Lord, our enemies have driven us away. What can I say?The Canaanites will hear about it. So will everyone else in the country. They will surround us. They’ll erase any mention of our name from the face of the earth. Then what will you do when people don’t honor your great name anymore?”

But the men said to Saul,“ Should Jonathan be put to death? Never! He has saved Israel in a wonderful way. He did it today with God’s help. You can be sure that the Lord lives. And you can be just as sure that not even one hair on Jonathan’s head will fall to the ground.” So the men rescued Jonathan. He wasn’t put to death.

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.

Moses returned to talk to the Lord. He said to him,“ Why, Lord? Why have you brought trouble on these people? Is this why you sent me?I went to Pharaoh to speak to him in your name. Ever since then, he has brought nothing but trouble on these people. And you haven’t saved your people at all.”

The people of the world can’t hate you. But they hate me. This is because I am a witness that their works are evil.
