Isaiah 26:8-10

The Voice

⁸ When we act in justice and righteousness—following Your laws—we wait for You.
    We are eager to hear Your holy name and remember Your ways.
⁹ At night I long for You with all that is in Me.
    When morning comes, I seek You with all my heart.
For when Your justice is done on earth,
    then everyone in the world will learn righteousness.
¹⁰ If grace is extended to those who do wrong,
    the perpetrators never learn what is right.
Even when surrounded by upright people, they gravitate to evil
    and never even notice the awesome beauty of the Eternal.
