They are dead, they shall not live; they are deceased, they shall not rise: therefore have you visited and destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish.
All Commentaries on Isaiah 26:14 Go To Isaiah 26
Gregory The Dialogist
AD 604
For hence it is said by the prophet, “The dead shall not live; the giants shall not rise up again.” For whom does he call “the dead” except sinners, and whom does he designate “giants” except those who over and above take pride in sin. Now the former do “not live,” because by sinning they have forfeited the life of righteousness; these latter too “cannot rise up again” after death because after their transgression they are swollen with pride and do not have recourse to the remedies of penitence.
