Isaiah 26:14

Yahweh's People Vindicated

¹³ Yahweh our God, lords other than You have ruled over us,
but we remember Your name alone. ¹⁴ The dead do not live;
departed spirits do not rise up.
Indeed, You have visited and destroyed them;
You have wiped out all memory of them.
¹⁵ You have added to the nation, Lord.
You have added to the nation; You are honored.
You have expanded all the borders of the land.
