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 [^Lyour hand is lifted up; ^Cready to strike],
    but they do not see that.
·Show them your strong love for your people [^LThey 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 [^Lof] your ·enemies [adversaries].
