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.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
The verse 19 is found in chapter 26 of Isaiah. The prayer acknowledges that God must act because the people cannot produce salvation by themselves. The image of a woman giving birth portrays a crisis in which human efforts cannot bring deliverance. Yet hope returns in the promise that the dead will live and in the call to wait while divine indignation passes.

Aber deine Toten werden leben, meine Leichname werden auferstehen. Wachet auf und rühmet, die ihr liegt unter der Erde! Denn dein Tau ist ein Tau des grünen Feldes; aber das Land der Toten wirst du stürzen.
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.
Tus muertos vivirán; mi cadáver se levantará. ¡Despierten y griten de alegría, habitantes del polvo! Porque tu rocío es rocío de luz, y la tierra dará a luz a los muertos.
Que tes morts revivent! Que mes cadavres se relèvent! -Réveillez-vous et tressaillez de joie, habitants de la poussière! Car ta rosée est une rosée vivifiante, Et la terre redonnera le jour aux ombres.
I tuoi morti torneranno a vita, il mio corpo morto anch’esso, e risusciteranno. Risvegliatevi, e giubilate, voi che abitate nella polvere; perciocchè, quale è la rugiada all’erbe, tal sarà la tua rugiada, e la terra gitterà fuori i trapassati
Os teus mortos e também o meu cadáver viverão e ressuscitarão; despertai e exultai, os que habitais no pó, porque o teu orvalho será como o orvalho das ervas, e a terra lançará de si os mortos.
你的死人要復活, 我的屍首要起來。 睡在塵土裏的啊,要醒起歌唱! 你的甘露好像晨曦 的甘露, 地要交出陰魂。
