26:18 We were pregnant, we strained,
we gave birth, as it were, to wind. 1
We cannot produce deliverance on the earth;
people to populate the world are not born. 2
26:19 3 Your dead will come back to life;
your corpses will rise up.
Wake up and shout joyfully, you who live in the ground! 4
For you will grow like plants drenched with the morning dew, 5
and the earth will bring forth its dead spirits. 6
26:20 Go, my people! Enter your inner rooms!
Close your doors behind you!
Hide for a little while,
until his angry judgment is over! 7
26:21 For look, the Lord is coming out of the place where he lives, 8
to punish the sin of those who live on the earth.
The earth will display the blood shed on it;
it will no longer cover up its slain. 9
