Isaiah 26:10-12

Contemporary English Version

¹⁰ Even when the wicked
are treated with mercy
    in this land of justice,
they do wrong and are blind
    to your glory, our Lord.
^11 (A) Your hand is raised and ready
    to punish them,
but they don't see it.
    Put them to shame!
Show how much you care for us
and throw them into the fire
    intended for your enemies.

¹² You will give us peace, Lord,
because everything we have done
    was by your power.
