Isaiah 26:14-16

Good News Translation

¹⁴ Now they are dead and will not live again;
    their ghosts will not rise,
    for you have punished them and destroyed them.
No one remembers them any more.
¹⁵ Lord, you have made our nation grow,
    enlarging its territory on every side;
    and this has brought you honor.
¹⁶ You punished your people, Lord,
    and in anguish they prayed to you.^[a]
