Isaiah 26:18-20

Common English Bible

¹⁸ We were pregnant, we writhed,
but we gave birth to wind.
We have achieved no victories on earth;
    the inhabitants of the earth never fall.

¹⁹ Your dead will live, their^[a] corpses will rise,
    and those who dwell in the dust will shout for joy.
Your shadow is a shadow of light,
    but you will bring down the ghosts into the underworld.
²⁰ Go, my people, enter your rooms and shut your doors behind you.
    Take cover, for in a little while the fury will be over.
