Isaiah 26:19-21
Lexham English Bible
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.
21 For look! Yahweh is about to come out from his place
to punish the iniquity of the inhabitants[f] of the earth against him,
and the earth will disclose her blood
and will no longer cover her slain.
