No Water Candied Yams

Isaiah 26:19-21

    [19] Your dead shall live; their bodies shall rise.

        You who dwell in the dust, awake and sing for joy!

    For your dew is a dew of light,

        and the earth will give birth to the dead.

    [20] Come, my people, enter your chambers,

        and shut your doors behind you;

    hide yourselves for a little while

        until the fury has passed by. 

    [21] For behold, the LORD is coming out from his place

        to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity,

    and the earth will disclose the blood shed on it,

        and will no more cover its slain.
