Isaiah 26:13-19 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

13. O LORD our God, other lords besides you have had dominion over us: but by you only will we make mention of your name.

14. They are dead, they shall not live; they are deceased, they shall not rise: therefore have you visited and destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish.

15. You have increased the nation, O LORD, you have increased the nation: you are glorified: you have enlarged all the borders of the land.

16. LORD, in trouble have they visited you, they poured out a prayer when your chastening was upon them.

17. Like a woman with child, that draws near the time of her delivery, is in pain, and cries out in her pangs; so have we been in your sight, O LORD.

18. We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have as it were given birth to wind; we have not accomplished any deliverance in the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen.

19. Your dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, you that dwell in dust: for your dew is like the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead.
