Yesaya 26:10

26:10 If the wicked are shown mercy,

they do not learn about justice. ¹ 

Even in a land where right is rewarded, they act unjustly; ² 

they do not see the Lord’s majesty revealed.

Yesaya 59:15

59:15 Honesty has disappeared;

the one who tries to avoid evil is robbed.

The Lord watches and is displeased, ³ 

for there is no justice.

[26:10]  ¹ tn As in verse 9b, the translation understands צֶדֶק (tsedeq) in the sense of “justice,” but it is possible that it carries the nuance “righteousness,” in which case one might translate, “they do not learn to live in a righteous manner.”

[26:10]  ² tn Heb “in a land of uprightness they act unjustly”; NRSV “they deal perversely.”

[59:15]  ³ tn Heb “and it is displeasing in his eyes.”
