Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt. Tose who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever.

Daniel 12:2,3 NIV

Therefore my heart is glad
and my glory rejoices;
My flesh also will dwell securely.

For You will not abandon my soul to Sheol;
Nor will You allow Your Holy One to undergo decay.

You will make known to me the path of life;
In Your presence is fullness of joy;
In Your right hand there are pleasures forever.

Psalm 16:9-11 NASB

Thy dead shall live, their bodies shall rise.
O dwellers in the dust, awake and sing for joy!
For thy dew is a dew of light, and on the land
of the shades thou wilt let it fall.

Come, my people, enter your chambers,
and shut your doors behind you;
hide yourselves for a little while
until the wrath is past.

For behold, the LORD is coming forth
out of his place to punish the inhabitants
of the earth for their iniquity,
and the earth will disclose
the blood shed upon her,
and will no more cover her slain.

Isaiah 26:19-21 RSV
