23:026:012 LORD, thou wilt ordain peace for us: for thou also hast
wrought all our works in us.
23:026:013 O LORD our God, other lords beside thee have had dominion over
us: but by thee only will we make mention of thy name.
23:026:014 They are dead, they shall not live; they are deceased, they
shall not rise: therefore hast thou visited and destroyed
them, and made all their memory to perish.
23:026:015 Thou hast increased the nation, O LORD, thou hast increased
the nation: thou art glorified: thou hadst removed it far unto
all the ends of the earth.
23:026:016 LORD, in trouble have they visited thee, they poured out a prayer when thy chastening was upon them.
23:026:017 Like as a woman with child, that draweth near the time of her delivery, is in pain, and crieth out in her pangs; so have we been in thy sight, O LORD.
23:026:018 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; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen.
23:026:019 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.
23:026:020 Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy
doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment,
until the indignation be overpast.
23:026:021 For, behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish the
inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also
shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.
