Isaiah 26:12-14

Easy-to-Read Version

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

¹³ Lord, you are our God,
    but in the past, we followed other lords.
We belonged to other masters,^[a]
    but now we want people to remember only one name—yours.
¹⁴ Those dead lords will not come to life.
    Those ghosts will not rise from death.
You decided to destroy them,
    and you destroyed everything that makes us think about them.
