17 Like as a woman with child, that draweth near the time of her delivery, Is in pain and crieth out in her pangs; So have we been at Thy presence, O LORD. 18 We have been with child, we have been in pain, We have as it were brought forth wind; We have not wrought any deliverance in the land; Neither are the inhabitants of the world come to life. 19 Thy dead shall live, my dead bodies shall arise-- Awake and sing, ye that dwell in the dust-- For Thy dew is as the dew of light, And the earth shall bring to life the shades. 20 Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, And shut thy doors about thee; Hide thyself for a little moment, Until the indignation be overpast. 21 For, behold, the LORD cometh forth out of His place To visit upon the inhabitants of the earth their iniquity; The earth also shall disclose her blood, And shall no more cover her slain. Isaiah 26:17-21, JPS Tanakh 1917. Public domain.
