Isaiah 26:20-21
The image is of bodies just lying all around, unburied, as a result of the gruesome carnage. It says in Ezekiel 39:12 that it will take a great deal of time—seven months—for all the bodies to be found and buried.
18 We have been with child, we have been in pain;
We have, as it were,1 brought forth wind;
We have not accomplished any deliverance in the earth,
Nor have athe inhabitants of the world fallen.
We have, as it were,1 brought forth wind;
We have not accomplished any deliverance in the earth,
Nor have athe inhabitants of the world fallen.
19 aYour dead shall live;
Together with1 my dead body they shall arise.
bAwake and sing, you who dwell in dust;
For your dew is like the dew of herbs,
And the earth shall cast out the dead.
Together with1 my dead body they shall arise.
bAwake and sing, you who dwell in dust;
For your dew is like the dew of herbs,
And the earth shall cast out the dead.
Take Refuge from the Coming Judgment
20 Come, my people, aenter your chambers,
And shut your doors behind you;
Hide yourself, as it were, bfor a little moment,
Until the indignation is past.
And shut your doors behind you;
Hide yourself, as it were, bfor a little moment,
Until the indignation is past.
21 For behold, the Lord acomes out of His place
To punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity;
The earth will also disclose her1 blood,
And will no more cover her slain.
To punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity;
The earth will also disclose her1 blood,
And will no more cover her slain.
