Isaiah 26:14-19
141The dead will not live, the 2departed spirits will not rise; Therefore You have 3punished and destroyed them, And You have eliminated all remembrance of them.154You have increased the nation, Lord, You have increased the nation, You are glorified; You have 5extended all the borders of the land.16Lord, they sought You 6in distress; They 7could only whisper a prayer, Your discipline was upon them.178As the pregnant woman approaches the time to give birth, She writhes and cries out in her labor pains; This is how we were before You, Lord.18We were pregnant, we writhed in labor, We 9gave birth, as it seems, only to wind. We could not accomplish deliverance for the earth, Nor were 10inhabitants of the world 11born.19Your 12dead will live; 13Their corpses will rise. You who lie in the dust, 14awake and shout for joy, For your dew is as the dew of the 15dawn, And the earth will 16give birth to the 17departed spirits.
