Is in pain and cries out in her1 pangs,
When she draws near the time of her delivery,
So have we been in Your sight, O Lord.
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.
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
And shut your doors behind you;
Hide yourself, as it were, bfor a little moment,
Until the indignation is past.
To punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity;
The earth will also disclose her1 blood,
And will no more cover her slain.
| << Isaiah 26:18 | Isaiah 26:20 >> |
