Isaiah 26:17-19

American Standard Version

¹⁷ Like as a woman with child, that draweth near the time of her delivery, is in pain and crieth out in her pangs; so we have been ^[a]before thee, O Jehovah. ¹⁸ We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have as it were brought forth wind; we have not wrought any deliverance in the earth; ^[b]neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen. ¹⁹ Thy dead shall live; my dead bodies shall arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in the dust; for thy dew is as the dew of ^[c]herbs, and the earth shall cast forth ^[d]the dead.
