Isaiah 26:16-19
1599 Geneva Bible
16 Lord, in trouble have they [a]visited thee: they poured out a prayer when thy chastening was upon them.
17 Like as a woman with child, that draweth near to the travail, is in sorrow, and crieth in her pains, so have we been in thy [b]sight, O Lord.
18 We have conceived, we have born in pain, as though we should have brought forth [c]wind: there was no help in the earth, neither did the inhabitants of [d]the world fall.
19 ¶ [e]Thy dead men shall live: even with my body shall they rise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy [f]dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead.
