Isaiah 26:18-20
1599 Geneva Bible
18 We have conceived, we have born in pain, as though we should have brought forth [a]wind: there was no help in the earth, neither did the inhabitants of [b]the world fall.
19 ¶ [c]Thy dead men shall live: even with my body shall they rise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy [d]dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead.
20 Come, my people: [e]enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors after thee: hide thyself for a very little while, until the indignation pass over.
