Isaiah 26:5-11

Read this passage and open each verse for the full verse feed and commentary tools.

5“For He has brought low those who dwell on high, the unassailable city;

He lays it low, He lays it low to the ground, He casts it to the dust.

6“The foot will trample it,

The feet of the poor, the steps of the helpless.”

7The way of the righteous is smooth;

O Upright One, make the path of the righteous level.

8Indeed, while following the way of Your judgments, Lord,

We have waited for You eagerly;

Your name, and remembering You, is the desire of our souls.

9At night my soul longs for You,

Indeed, my spirit within me seeks You diligently;

For when the earth experiences Your judgments,

The inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.

10Though the wicked person is shown compassion,

He does not learn righteousness;

He deals unjustly in the land of uprightness,

And does not perceive the majesty of the Lord.

11Lord, Your hand is lifted up, yet they do not see it.

They see Your zeal for the people and are put to shame;

Indeed, fire will devour Your enemies.
