Isaiah 26:18-20
American Standard Version
18 We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have as it were brought forth wind; we have not wrought any deliverance in the earth; [a]neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen. 19 Thy dead shall live; my dead bodies shall arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in the dust; for thy dew is as the dew of [b]herbs, and the earth shall cast forth [c]the dead.
20 Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast.

and the people of the world have not come to life.(C)
