He will swallow up death forever; and the Lord Jehovah will wipe away tears from all faces. And He will take away from all the earth the rebuke of His people. For Jehovah has spoken.

O Jehovah, be gracious to us; we have waited for You. Be their arm every morning; our salvation also in the time of trouble.

And they said to him, Thus says Hezekiah: This day is a day of trouble, and rebuke, and contempt; for the children have come to birth, but there is no strength to bring forth.

and call on Me in the day of trouble; and I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me.

He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him.

I will go and return to My place until they confess their guilt and seek My face. In their affliction they will seek Me earnestly.

The pangs of a woman giving birth shall come upon him; he is an unwise son, for he does not stay long where children are born.
