Isaiah 26:12-19

12Lord, You will establish peace for us, For You have also done all our works in us.

13O Lord our God, masters besides You Have had dominion over us; But by You only we make mention of Your name.

14They are dead, they will not live; They are deceased, they will not rise. Therefore You have punished and destroyed them, And made all their memory to perish.

15You have increased the nation, O Lord, You have increased the nation; You are glorified; You have expanded all the borders of the land.

16Lord, in trouble they have visited You, They poured out a prayer when Your chastening was upon them.

17As a woman with child Is in pain and cries out in her pangs, When she draws near the time of her delivery, So have we been in Your sight, O Lord.

18We have been with child, we have been in pain; We have, as it were, brought forth wind; We have not accomplished any deliverance in the earth, Nor have the inhabitants of the world fallen.

19Your dead shall live; Together with my dead body they shall arise. Awake and sing, you who dwell in dust; For your dew is like the dew of herbs, And the earth shall cast out the dead.
