Isaiah 26:18-20

New Century Version

¹⁸ In the same way, we had pain.
    We gave birth, but only to wind.
We don’t bring salvation to the land
    or make new people for the world.
¹⁹ Your people have died, but they will live again;
    their bodies will rise from death.
You who lie in the ground,
    wake up and be happy!
The dew covering you is like the dew of a new day;
    the ground will give birth to the dead.

²⁰ My people, go into your rooms
    and shut your doors behind you.
Hide in your rooms for a short time
    until God’s anger is finished.
