Isaiah 26:14-16

New Century Version

¹⁴ Those masters are now dead;
    their ghosts will not rise from death.
You punished and destroyed them
    and erased any memory of them.
¹⁵ Lord, you multiplied the number of your people;
    you multiplied them and brought honor to yourself.
You made the borders of the land wide.
¹⁶ Lord, people remember you when they are in trouble;
    they say quiet prayers to you when you punish them.
