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

20 Come, my people: [c]enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors after thee: hide thyself for a very little while, until the indignation pass over.

21 For lo, the Lord cometh out of his place, to visit the iniquity of the inhabitants of the earth upon them: and the earth shall disclose her [d]blood, and shall no more hide her slain.
