Isaiah 26:8-10
Amplified Bible
8
Indeed, in the path of Your judgments, O Lord,
We have waited expectantly for You;
Your name, even Your memory, is the desire and deep longing of our souls.
9
In the night my soul longs for You [O Lord],
Indeed, my spirit within me seeks You diligently;
For [only] when Your judgments are experienced on the earth
Will the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.
10
Though the wicked is shown compassion and favor,
He does not learn righteousness;
In the land of uprightness he deals unjustly,
And refuses to see the majesty of the Lord.
Isaiah 26:8-10
New International Version
8 Yes, Lord, walking in the way of your laws,[a](A)
we wait(B) for you;
your name(C) and renown
are the desire of our hearts.
9 My soul yearns for you in the night;(D)
in the morning my spirit longs(E) for you.
When your judgments(F) come upon the earth,
the people of the world learn righteousness.(G)
10 But when grace is shown to the wicked,(H)
they do not learn righteousness;
even in a land of uprightness they go on doing evil(I)
and do not regard(J) the majesty of the Lord.
