Isaiah 26:17

And as a woman in travail draws near to be delivered, [and] cries out in her pain; so have we been to your beloved.

Like as a woman with child, that draweth near the time of her delivery, is in pain, and crieth out in her pangs; so have we been in thy sight, O Lord.

Just as a woman with child, who draws near the time of her delivery, is in pain and cries out in her pangs, so we have been before you, Yahweh.
