Psalms 88:10

Many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.

But it is good for me to come close to God. I have made the Lord Yahweh my refuge, that I may tell of all your works.

Therefore prophesy, and tell them, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “Behold, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, my people; and I will bring you into the land of Israel.

I will ransom them from the power of Sheol. I will redeem them from death! Death, where are your plagues? Sheol, where is your destruction? “Compassion will be hidden from my eyes.

Therefore he says, “Awake, you who sleep, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”

For in death there is no memory of you. In Sheol, who shall give you thanks?

If I ascend up into heaven, you are there. If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, you are there!

Sheol and Abaddon are before Yahweh— how much more then the hearts of the children of men!

Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work, nor plan, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in Sheol, where you are going.

He has swallowed up death forever! The Lord Yahweh will wipe away tears from off all faces. He will take the reproach of his people away from off all the earth, for Yahweh has spoken it.

“Yahweh kills and makes alive. He brings down to Sheol and brings up.

All the rich ones of the earth shall eat and worship. All those who go down to the dust shall bow before him, even he who can’t keep his soul alive.

Let me not be disappointed, Yahweh, for I have called on you. Let the wicked be disappointed. Let them be silent in Sheol.

Let them offer the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his deeds with singing.

For the living know that they will die, but the dead don’t know anything, neither do they have any more a reward; for their memory is forgotten.

After two days he will revive us. On the third day he will raise us up, and we will live before him.

Aren’t you from everlasting, Yahweh my God, my Holy One? We will not die. Yahweh, you have appointed him for judgment. You, Rock, have established him to punish.

But Jesus answered them, “You are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God.

The tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised;

The Nephilim were in the earth in those days, and also after that, when God’s sons came in to men’s daughters and had children with them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.

“The departed spirits tremble, those beneath the waters and all that live in them.

Destruction and Death say, ‘We have heard a rumor of it with our ears.’

As for me, I shall see your face in righteousness. I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with seeing your form.

“What profit is there in my destruction, if I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise you? Shall it declare your truth?

You, who have shown us many and bitter troubles, you will let me live. You will bring us up again from the depths of the earth.

Let my soul live, that I may praise you. Let your ordinances help me.

You will see it, and your heart shall rejoice, and your bones will flourish like the tender grass. Yahweh’s hand will be known among his servants; and he will have indignation against his enemies.

He reveals the deep and secret things. He knows what is in the darkness, and the light dwells with him.

Though they dig into Sheol, there my hand will take them; and though they climb up to heaven, there I will bring them down.

Martha said to him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”

Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will still live, even if he dies.

I pray not that you would take them from the world, but that you would keep them from the evil one.

For as yet they didn’t know the Scripture, that he must rise from the dead.

For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus.

There is no creature that is hidden from his sight, but all things are naked and laid open before the eyes of him to whom we must give an account.

The sea gave up the dead who were in it. Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them. They were judged, each one according to his works.

He will keep the feet of his holy ones, but the wicked will be put to silence in darkness; for no man will prevail by strength.

They came on me in the day of my calamity, but Yahweh was my support.

As they were burying a man, behold, they saw a band of raiders; and they threw the man into Elisha’s tomb. As soon as the man touched Elisha’s bones, he revived, and stood up on his feet.

Why do you not pardon my disobedience, and take away my iniquity? For now will I lie down in the dust. You will seek me diligently, but I will not be.”

They are high as heaven. What can you do? They are deeper than Sheol. What can you know?

Though its root grows old in the earth, and its stock dies in the ground,

so man lies down and doesn’t rise. Until the heavens are no more, they will not awake, nor be roused out of their sleep.

whom I, even I, will see on my side. My eyes will see, and not as a stranger. “My heart is consumed within me.

Sheol is naked before God, and Abaddon has no covering.

Who has first given to me, that I should repay him? Everything under the heavens is mine.

Therefore my heart is glad, and my tongue rejoices. My body shall also dwell in safety.

My strength is dried up like a potsherd. My tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth. You have brought me into the dust of death.

Many, Yahweh, my God, are the wonderful works which you have done, and your thoughts which are toward us. They can’t be declared back to you. If I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be counted.

I have not hidden your righteousness within my heart. I have declared your faithfulness and your salvation. I have not concealed your loving kindness and your truth from the great assembly.

He raises up the poor out of the dust. Lifts up the needy from the ash heap,

The dead don’t praise Yah, neither any who go down into silence;

I will not die, but live, and declare Yah’s works.

With my lips, I have declared all the ordinances of your mouth.

If I say, “Surely the darkness will overwhelm me. The light around me will be night,”

If I would count them, they are more in number than the sand. When I wake up, I am still with you.

One generation will commend your works to another, and will declare your mighty acts.

Sheol from beneath has moved for you to meet you at your coming. It stirs up the departed spirits for you, even all the rulers of the earth. It has raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations.

Your dead shall live. My dead bodies shall arise. Awake and sing, you who dwell in the dust; for your dew is like the dew of herbs, and the earth will cast out the departed spirits.

For Sheol can’t praise you. Death can’t celebrate you. Those who go down into the pit can’t hope for your truth.

‘Yahweh has produced our righteousness: come, and let’s declare in Zion the work of Yahweh our God.’

I will be like the dew to Israel. He will blossom like the lily, and send down his roots like Lebanon.

I must work the works of him who sent me while it is day. The night is coming, when no one can work.

But when Jesus heard it, he said, “This sickness is not to death, but for the glory of God, that God’s Son may be glorified by it.”

having hope toward God, which these also themselves look for, that there will be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.

But now Christ has been raised from the dead. He became the first fruits of those who are asleep.

that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed to his death,

who will change the body of our humiliation to be conformed to the body of his glory, according to the working by which he is able even to subject all things to himself.

Israel dwells in safety, the fountain of Jacob alone, In a land of grain and new wine. Yes, his heavens drop down dew.

“For the seed of peace and the vine will yield its fruit, and the ground will give its increase, and the heavens will give their dew; and I will cause the remnant of this people to inherit all these things.
