¹⁷ Just as a woman with child, who draws near the time of her delivery, is in pain and cries out in her pangs, so we have been before you, Yahweh.

KJVThy dead^H4191^(H8801) men shall live^H2421^(H8799), together with my dead body^H5038 shall they arise^H6965^(H8799). Awake^H6974^(H8685) and sing^H7442^(H8761), ye that dwell^H7931^(H8802) in dust^H6083: for thy dew^H2919 is as the dew^H2919 of herbs^H219, and the earth^H776 shall cast out^H5307^(H8686) the dead^H7496.

²⁰ Come, my people, enter into your rooms, and shut your doors behind you. Hide yourself for a little moment, until the indignation is past.

KJVCome^H3212^(H8798), my people^H5971, enter^H935^(H8798) thou into thy chambers^H2315, and shut^H5462^(H8798) thy doors^H1817 about thee: hide^H2247^(H8798) thyself as it were for a little^H4592 moment^H7281, until the indignation^H2195 be overpast^H5674^(H8799).
