Isaiah 26:12

Compare all

10 ^aLet grace be shown to the wicked,
Yet he will not learn righteousness;
In ^bthe land of uprightness he will deal unjustly,
And will not behold the majesty of the Lord.

11 Lord, when Your hand is lifted up, ^athey will not see.
But they will see and be ashamed
For¹ their envy of people;
Yes, the fire of Your enemies shall devour them.

12 Lord, You will establish peace for us,
For You have also done all our works¹ in us.

13 O Lord our God, ^amasters besides You
Have had dominion over us;
But by You only we make mention of Your name.

14 They are dead, they will not live;
They are deceased, they will not rise.
Therefore You have punished and destroyed them,
And made all their memory to ^aperish.

15 You have increased the nation, O Lord,
You have ^aincreased the nation;
You are glorified;
You have expanded all the¹ borders of the land.

16 Lord, ^ain trouble they have visited You,
They poured out a prayer when Your chastening was upon them.

17 As ^aa woman with child
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.

Barnes' Notes

<< Isaiah 26:11

Isaiah 26:13 >>

Isaiah 26:12

Thou wilt ordain peace - The word ' peace' here seems to stand opposed to the evils of various kinds which they had experienced in the captivity at Babylon; and to refer net only to peace, but also to prosperity, and to the continued divine favor.

For thou hast wrought all our works in us - Or rather, ' for us' ( ּ lânû ). It is owing to thy hand that we are saved.
