verse 17 Like as a pregnant woman when Approaching child-birth comes apace Is pained, and in her pangs cry's out, So were we Lord before thy face. ⟨p. 5⟩verse 18 We have conceived & have been pained, We have as it were brought forth wind, The worlds inhabitants fell not, On earth no safety we could find.

verse 19 Thy dead shall surely live again, With my dead corps arise they must; Awake out of the sleep of death And sing ye who dwell in the dust: Because the dew that falls on thee Is like the dew that makes herbs grow And down from hence with violence The earth the Rephaims shall throw.
verse 20 Come then, my people, enter in To chambers that most secret are, And after thee, shut thou the doors And fasten them with utmost care: There do thou hide thy self a while▪ It will but as a moment be, And all the indignation will Be wholly passed over thee.
