Isaiah 26:7‭-‬15


The way of the just is uprightness. You who are upright make the path of the righteous level. Yes, in the way of your judgements, the Lord, we have waited for you. Your name and your renown are the desire of our soul. With my soul I have desired you in the night. Yes, with my spirit within me I will seek you earnestly; for when your judgements are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness. Let favour be shown to the wicked, yet he will not learn righteousness. In the land of uprightness he will deal wrongfully, and will not see the Lord’s majesty. The Lord, your hand is lifted up, yet they don’t see; but they will see your zeal for the people and be disappointed. Yes, fire will consume your adversaries. The Lord, you will ordain peace for us, for you have also done all our work for us. The Lord our God, other Lords besides you have had dominion over us, but we will only acknowledge your name. The dead shall not live. The departed spirits shall not rise. Therefore you have visited and destroyed them, and caused all memory of them to perish. You have increased the nation, O Lord. You have increased the nation! You are glorified! You have enlarged all the borders of the land. 
--Isaiah 26:7‭-‬15
