In context

14But the dead shall not see life, neither shall physicians by any means raise them up: therefore thou hast brought wrath upon them, and slain them, and hast taken away every male of them. Bring more evils upon them, O Lord;

15bring more evils on the glorious ones of the earth.

— Isaiah 26:16 —

17And as a woman in travail draws nigh to be delivered, and cries out in her pain; so have we been to thy beloved.

18We have conceived, O Lord, because of thy fear, and have been in pain, and have brought forth the breath of thy salvation, which we have wrought upon the earth: we shall not fall, but all that dwell upon the land shall fall.
