Isaiah 26:19

Thy dead, shall come to life again, My dead body, they shall arise,—Awake and shout for joy, ye that dwell in the dust For, a dew of light, is thy dew, And, earth, to the shades shall give birth.

The Emphasised Bible by J. B. Rotherham

In The King James Version

Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead.

20Come my people, enter into thy chambers, And shut thy doors behind thee,—Hide thee as it were a little moment Till the indignation pass over.
