Isaiah 26:10-12

Expanded Bible

¹⁰ Evil people will not learn ·to do good [righteousness; justice]
    even if you show them ·kindness [mercy; grace].
They will continue ·doing evil [acting unjustly], even if they live in a ·good world [land of uprightness];
    they never see the Lord’s ·greatness [majesty].
¹¹ Lord, ·you are ready to punish those people [^Lyour hand is lifted up; ^Cready to strike],
    but they do not see that.
·Show them your strong love for your people [^LThey will see your zeal for your people; or They will see your zealous judgment against mankind].
    ·Then those who are evil [^L…and they] will be ashamed.
·Burn [Consume] them in the fire
    ·you have prepared for [^Lof] your ·enemies [adversaries].
¹² Lord, all our ·success is [accomplishments/works are] because of what you have done,
    ·so give us peace [or and you give us peace/security].
