Isaiah 26:18-20
Lexham English Bible
Isaiah 26:18-20
Lexham English Bible
18 We became pregnant, we writhed;
we gave birth to wind.
We cannot bring about deliverance on the earth,
and no inhabitants of the world are born.
19 Your dead shall live; their corpses[a] shall rise.
Wake up and sing for joy, dwellers of the dust,
for your dew is celestial dew,[b]
and the earth will give birth to dead spirits.[c]
20 Go, my people, enter into your chambers
and shut your doors[d] behind you;
hide for a very little[e] while,
until the wrath has passed over.
