Isaiah 26:5-7

Lexham English Bible

⁵ For he has thrown down the inhabitants of the height,
    he lays low the lofty city.
He lays it low to the ground;
    he throws her to the dust.
⁶ The foot tramples it,
    the feet of the poor, the steps of the needy.”

⁷ The way of the righteous is a straight path;
    you clear the level path of the righteous.^[a]
