Isaiah 26:9-11
Expanded Bible
9 My soul ·wants to be with [longs/yearns for] you at night,
and my spirit ·wants to be with [seeks; longs for] you ·at the dawn of every day [in the morning].
When your ·way of justice [judgment] comes to the ·land [earth],
·people [the inhabitants] of the world will learn ·the right way of living [righteousness; justice].
10 Evil people will not learn ·to do good [righteousness; justice]
even if you show them ·kindness [mercy; grace].
They will continue ·doing evil [acting unjustly], even if they live in a ·good world [land of uprightness];
they never see the Lord’s ·greatness [majesty].
11 Lord, ·you are ready to punish those people [L your hand is lifted up; C ready to strike],
but they do not see that.
·Show them your strong love for your people [L They will see your zeal for your people; or They will see your zealous judgment against mankind].
·Then those who are evil [L …and they] will be ashamed.
·Burn [Consume] them in the fire
·you have prepared for [L of] your ·enemies [adversaries].

Isaiah 26:9-11
New International Version
9 My soul yearns for you in the night;(A)
in the morning my spirit longs(B) for you.
When your judgments(C) come upon the earth,
the people of the world learn righteousness.(D)
10 But when grace is shown to the wicked,(E)
they do not learn righteousness;
even in a land of uprightness they go on doing evil(F)
and do not regard(G) the majesty of the Lord.
11 Lord, your hand is lifted high,(H)
but they do not see(I) it.
Let them see your zeal(J) for your people and be put to shame;(K)
let the fire(L) reserved for your enemies consume them.
