Yes, by my spirit within me I will seek You early;
For when Your judgments are in the earth,
The inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.
Yet he will not learn righteousness;
In bthe land of uprightness he will deal unjustly,
And will not behold the majesty of the Lord.
But they will see and be ashamed
For1 their envy of people;
Yes, the fire of Your enemies shall devour them.
Have had dominion over us;
But by You only we make mention of Your name.
They are deceased, they will not rise.
Therefore You have punished and destroyed them,
And made all their memory to aperish.
You have aincreased the nation;
You are glorified;
You have expanded all the1 borders of the land.
They poured out a prayer when Your chastening was upon them.
Is in pain and cries out in her1 pangs,
When she draws near the time of her delivery,
So have we been in Your sight, O Lord.
We have, as it were,1 brought forth wind;
We have not accomplished any deliverance in the earth,
Nor have athe inhabitants of the world fallen.
Together with1 my dead body they shall arise.
bAwake and sing, you who dwell in dust;
For your dew is like the dew of herbs,
And the earth shall cast out the dead.
Take Refuge from the Coming Judgment
And shut your doors behind you;
Hide yourself, as it were, bfor a little moment,
Until the indignation is past.
| << Isaiah 26:10 | Isaiah 26:12 >> |
