Isaias

Hebrew Bible

Hebrew Bible, Isaias, Ottley, Cambridge, 1904

14 Dead, they shall not live; shades, they shall not rise; therefore hast thou visited ahd destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish.

15 Thou hast increased, the nation, O Lord, thou hast increased the nation; thou hast gotten thee glory; thou hast enlarged all the borders of the land.

16 Lord, in trouble have they inquired for thee; they uttered a whisper]; thy correction was upon them.

17 Like as a woman with child, that draweth near the time of her delivery, doth writhe, crieth out in her pangs; so were we at thy presence, O Loan.

18 We were with child, we writhed, we brought forth as it were wind; we wrought not salvation (for) the earth, neither have inhabitants of the earth fallen.

19 Thy dead ones shall live, my dead body shall arise: Awake and sing, ye that dwell in the dust; for thy dew is the dew of lights, and the earth shall cast forth shades.
