Isaiah 26 — Context

4

Let your hope be in the Lord for ever: for the Lord Jah is an unchanging Rock.

5

For he has made low those who are lifted up, all the people of the town of pride: he makes it low, crushing it down to the earth; he makes it low in the dust.

6

It will be crushed under the feet of the poor and the steps of those who are in need.

7

The way of the good man is straight; the road of the upright is made smooth by you.

8

We have been waiting for you, O Lord; the desire of our soul is for the memory of your name.

9

In the night the desire of my soul has been for you; early will my spirit be searching for you; for when your punishments come on the earth, the people of the world will get the knowledge of righteousness.

10

Even if you are kind to the evil-doer, he will not go after righteousness; even in the land of the upright he will still go on in his wrongdoing, and will not see the glory of the Lord.
