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.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
The verse 20 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.

Gehe hin, mein Volk, in deine Kammer und schließ die Tür nach dir zu; verbirg dich einen kleinen Augenblick, bis der Zorn vorübergehe.
Anda, pueblo mío, éntrate en tus aposentos, cierra tras ti tus puertas; escóndete un poquito, por un momento, en tanto que pasa la ira.
Va, mon peuple, entre dans ta chambre, Et ferme la porte derrière toi; Cache-toi pour quelques instants, Jusqu'à ce que la colère soit passée.
Va’, popol mio, entra nelle tue camerette, e serra il tuo uscio dietro te; nasconditi, come per un piccol momento di tempo, finchè sia passata l’indegnazione.
Vai, pois, povo meu, entra nos teus quartos, e fecha as tuas portas sobre ti; esconde-te só por um momento, até que passe a ira.
我的百姓啊,要進入內室, 關上你的門,躲避片刻, 等到憤怒過去。
