Isaiah 26:10-12

The Voice

¹⁰ If grace is extended to those who do wrong,
    the perpetrators never learn what is right.
Even when surrounded by upright people, they gravitate to evil
    and never even notice the awesome beauty of the Eternal.
¹¹ O Eternal One, even when Your hand is raised against them, they do not see it.
    When they finally do see how passionately
You act on the people’s behalf, they will be ashamed.
    Ah, let the fire that consumes Your enemies consume them.
¹² Eternal One, You are preparing peace for us;
    in fact, everything we have accomplished has come from You.
