Isaiah 26:17-19
Lexham English Bible
Isaiah 26:17-19
Lexham English Bible
17 Like a pregnant woman on the point of giving birth, she writhes;
she cries in her labor pains.
So we were because of your presence, Yahweh.
18 We became pregnant, we writhed;
we gave birth to wind.
We cannot bring about deliverance on the earth,
and no inhabitants of the world are born.
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]
