for when your judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness. 026:010 Let favor be shown to the wicked, yet he will not learn righteousness. In the land of uprightness he will deal wrongfully, and will not see Yahweh's majesty. 026:011 Yahweh, 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. 026:012 Yahweh, you will ordain peace for us, for you have also worked all our works for us. 026:013 Yahweh our God, other lords besides you have had dominion over us, but by you only will we make mention of your name. 026:014 The dead shall not live. The deceased shall not rise. Therefore have you visited and destroyed them, and caused all memory of them to perish. 026:015 You have increased the nation, O Yahweh. You have increased the nation! You are glorified! You have enlarged all the borders of the land. 026:016 Yahweh, in trouble they have visited you. They poured out a prayer when your chastening was on them. 026:017 Like as a woman with child, who draws near the time of her delivery, is in pain and cries out in her pangs; so we have been before you, Yahweh. 026:018 We have been with child. We have been in pain. We gave birth, it seems, only to wind. We have not worked any deliverance in the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen. 026:019 Your dead shall live. My dead bodies shall arise. Awake and sing, you who dwell in the dust; for your dew is like the dew of herbs, and the earth will cast forth the dead. 026:020 Come, my people, enter into your chambers, and shut your doors behind you. Hide yourself for a little moment, until the indignation is past. 026:021 For, behold, Yahweh comes forth out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity. The earth also will disclose her blood, and will no longer cover her slain. 027:001 In that day, Yahweh with his hard and great and strong sword will punish leviathan, the fleeing serpent, and leviathan the twisted serpent; and he will kill the dragon that is in the sea. 027:002 In that day, sing to her, "A pleasant vineyard! 027:003 I, Yahweh, am its keeper. I will water it every moment. Lest anyone damage it, I will keep it night and day. 027:004 Wrath is not in me, but if I should find briers and thorns, I would do battle! I would march on them and I would burn them together. 027:005 Or else let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me. Let him make peace with me." 027:006 In days to come, Jacob will take root. Israel will blossom and bud. They will fill the surface of the world with fruit. 027:007 Has he struck them as he struck those who struck them?
