19 Your dead shall live; their corpses[a] shall rise.
    Those who dwell in the dust will awake and shout for joy![b]
For your dew is a radiant dew,
    and the earth will give birth to those long dead.[c](A)

20 Come, my people, enter your chambers,
    and shut your doors behind you;
hide yourselves for a little while
    until the wrath is past.(B)
21 For the Lord comes out from his place
    to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity;
the earth will disclose the blood shed on it
    and will no longer cover its slain.(C)

your dew(C) is like the dew of the morning;

Deliverance of Israel

27 In that day,(M)

the Lord will punish with his sword(N)
    his fierce, great and powerful sword—
Leviathan(O) the gliding serpent,(P)
    Leviathan the coiling serpent;
he will slay the monster(Q) of the sea.

19 Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead.

20 Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast.

21 For, behold, the Lord cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.

27 In that day the Lord with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.
