Charles Spurgeon Commentary Isaiah 26:10

"Let favor be showed to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness; in the land of uprightness will he deal wrongfully, and will not behold the majesty of Jehovah." — Isaiah 26:10 (ASV)

Let favour be shown to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness: in the land of uprightness will he deal unjustly, and will not behold the majesty of the LORD.

Until men are changed in heart, and renewed in nature, they will not see God. If you could transport them to the land of uprightness, where there would be no sin to tempt them, yet even then they would not know the Lord. Still is our Saviour's message true, You must be born again. O unconverted men and women, we look upon you through our tears, because you are incapable of everything that is good and right until the Lord in covenant mercy renews your hearts, and brings you to know Him! Of the ungodly man it is truly declared, In the land of uprightness will he deal unjustly, and will not behold the majesty of the Lord.
