Isaiah 26:9-11

International Children’s Bible

⁹ My soul wants to be with you at night.
    And my spirit wants to be with you at the dawn of every day.
When your way of justice comes to the land,
    people of the world will learn the right way of living.
¹⁰ An evil person will not learn to do good
    even if you show him kindness.
He will continue doing evil, even if he lives in a good world.
    He never sees the Lord’s greatness.
¹¹ Lord, you are ready to punish those people.
    But they do not see that.
Lord, show them your strong love for your people.
    Then the evil people will be ashamed.
Burn them in the fire
    you have prepared for your enemies.
