Isaiah 26:19-21
New King James Version
19 (A)Your dead shall live;
Together with [a]my dead body they shall arise.
(B)Awake 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
20 Come, my people, (C)enter your chambers,
And shut your doors behind you;
Hide yourself, as it were, (D)for a little moment,
Until the indignation is past.
21 For behold, the Lord (E)comes out of His place
To punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity;
The earth will also disclose her [b]blood,
And will no more cover her slain.

and the earth will give birth to the dead.
20 Come, my people, enter your chambers,
and shut your doors behind you;
hide yourselves (C)for a little while
until the fury has passed by.
21 (D)For behold, the Lord is coming out from his place
to punish the inhabitants of (E)the earth for their iniquity,
and the earth will disclose the blood shed on it,
and will no more cover its slain.
Isaiah 26:19-21
Holman Christian Standard Bible
19 Your dead will live; their bodies[a] will rise.(A)
Awake and sing, you who dwell in the dust!
For you will be covered with the morning dew,[b]
and the earth will bring out the departed spirits.
20 Go, my people, enter your rooms
and close your doors behind you.
Hide for a little while until the wrath has passed.(B)
21 For look, the Lord is coming from His place(C)
to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity.(D)
The earth will reveal the blood shed on it
and will no longer conceal her slain.
