Isaiah 26:14-16

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁴ Those dead lords will not come to life.
    Those ghosts will not rise from death.
You decided to destroy them,
    and you destroyed everything that makes us think about them.
¹⁵ Lord, you have helped the nation you love.
    You made our nation grow
    and brought honor to yourself.^[a]
16 Lord, people remember you
    when they are in trouble.
So because of your punishment,
    we called out to you.
