Isaiah 26:17
"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."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

Like as a woman with child,.... By this simile are set forth the great distresses and afflictions the church of Christ will be in, before redemption and deliverance from the

antichristian yoke comes: that draweth near the time of her delivery; when her burden is great and very troublesome: is in pain, and crieth out in her pangs; for her friends to come about her, and give her all the help and assistance they can: so have we been in thy sight, O Lord; in great distress and trouble, and crying to him for salvation and deliverance, all which were well known unto him.
