Isaiah:26:5-11
Seeker Overlay ON
*
For he bringeth down them that dwell on high ;
the lofty city ,
he layeth it low ;
he layeth it low ,
even to the ground ;
he bringeth it even to the dust .
*
The foot shall tread it down ,
even the feet of the poor ,
and the steps of the needy .
*
The way of the just is uprightness :
thou ,
most upright ,
dost weigh the path of the just .
*
Yea ,
in the way of thy judgments ,
O LORD ,
have we waited for thee ;
the desire of our soul is to thy name ,
and to the remembrance of thee .
*
With my soul have I desired thee in the night ;
yea ,
with my spirit within me will I seek thee early :
for when thy judgments are in the earth ,
the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness .
*
Let favour be shewed 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 .
*
LORD ,
when thy hand is lifted up ,
they will not see :
but they shall see ,
and be ashamed for their envy at the people ;
yea ,
the fire of thine enemies shall devour them .
