Isaiah 26:9-11

Easy-to-Read Version

⁹ At night my soul longs to be with you,
    and the spirit in me wants to be with you at the dawn of every new day.
When your way of justice comes to the world,
    people will learn the right way of living.
¹⁰ Evil people will not learn to do good,
    even if you show them only kindness.
They will still do wrong, even if they live in a good world.
    They never see the Lord’s greatness.
¹¹ Lord, your arm is raised to punish them,
    but they don’t see it.
Show them how strong your love^[a] is for your people.
    Then those who are evil will be ashamed.
    Yes, your fire will destroy your enemies.
