Isaiah 26:17-18

17 As a woman with child and about to give birth
writhes and cries out in her pain,
so were we in your presence, O Lord.

18 We were with child, we writhed in pain,
but we gave birth to wind.
We have not brought salvation to the earth;
we have not given birth to people of the world.
