‘Go back and tell Hezekiah, the leader of my people, “This is what the Lord God of your ancestor David says: I have heard your prayer; I have seen your tears. Look, I will heal you. On the third day from now you will go up to the Lord’s temple.
Your dead will live; their bodies will rise. Awake and sing, you who dwell in the dust! For you will be covered with the morning dew, and the earth will bring out the departed spirits.
I will ransom them from the power of Sheol. I will redeem them from death. Death, where are your barbs? Sheol, where is your sting? Compassion is hidden from my eyes.
The moonlight will be as bright as the sunlight, and the sunlight will be seven times brighter #– #like the light of seven days #– #on the day that the Lord bandages his people’s injuries and heals the wounds he inflicted.
