Isaiah 26:17 in Context — Isaiah 26

15 Añadiste al pueblo, oh Jehová, añadiste al pueblo: hicístete glorioso: extendíste[lo] [hasta] todos los términos de la tierra.

16 Jehová, en la tribulación te buscaron: derramaron oración [cuando] los castigaste.

17 Como la preñada [cuando] se acerca el parto gime, y da gritos con sus dolores, así hemos sido delante de ti, oh Jehová.

18 Concebimos, tuvimos dolores de parto, parimos como viento: salud ninguna hicimos en la tierra, ni cayeron los moradores del mundo.

19 Tus muertos vivirán; [junto con] mi cuerpo muerto resucitarán. ¡Despertad y cantad, moradores del polvo! porque tu rocío, [cual] rocío de hortalizas; y la tierra echará los muertos.
