Isaiah 26 — Context

8

Yes, in the way of your judgments, Yahweh, have we waited for you. Your name and your renown are the desire of our soul.

9

With my soul have I desired you in the night. Yes, with my spirit within me will I seek you earnestly; for when your judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.

10

Let favor be shown to the wicked, yet he will not learn righteousness. In the land of uprightness he will deal wrongfully, and will not see Yahweh's majesty.

11

Yahweh, your hand is lifted up, yet they don't see; but they will see your zeal for the people, and be disappointed. Yes, fire will consume your adversaries.

12

Yahweh, you will ordain peace for us, for you have also worked all our works for us.

13

Yahweh our God, other lords besides you have had dominion over us, but by you only will we make mention of your name.

14

The dead shall not live. The deceased shall not rise. Therefore have you visited and destroyed them, and caused all memory of them to perish.
