Isaiah 26:10-12

Easy-to-Read Version

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.
¹² Lord, you have succeeded in doing everything we tried to do,
    so give us peace.
