Commentary on Isaiah 26:17

Theological / Devotional

Like as a woman. The comparison expresses the bitter anguish and consternation of God’s people in their hour of trial (Jer. 4:31; 6:23, 24; 30:6; see on Isa. 13:8). Their painful ordeal will be followed by an eternity of joy (see John 16:20, 21).
