Isaiah 26:8-10
Authorized (King James) Version
8 Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O Lord, have we waited for thee;
the desire of our soul is to thy name,
and to the remembrance of thee.
9 With my soul have I desired thee in the night;
yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early:
for when thy judgments are in the earth,
the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.
10 Let favour be shewed to the wicked,
yet will he not learn righteousness:
in the land of uprightness will he deal unjustly,
and will not behold 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.
