Question about Isaiah Chapter 26 verse 9 and 10

<< < (2/2)

bunnylife:
Marlene, thank you for bringing that up. I just finished the book Isaiah and slowly going through the OT prophets. It makes me wonder why verse 10 was stated first then verse 9 but Father God in His wisdom knows exactly how to get across His message. He also knew others would use it to say that God won't do what He promised because of the hardness of the hearts.

I see the two verses as the spiritual man (new creature) and the carnal nature (old man). The carnal nature you can impose all the laws and try to reform him but he still won't learn righteousness. It only comes from the grace of God which is the judgments of God (the same) that the carnal man becomes converted to the spiritual.

It is a wonderful promise from Father God to the everyone. Well it is the Gospel.

In His Joy,
Bunni

G. Driggs:
I was just thinking about these verses the other day, thanks to all the responses and your question Marlene it makes more sense now.

Here is a pretty good translation from the NIrV, and it jives quite well with GNB translation that Kat provided.

Isa 26:9  My heart longs for you at night. My spirit longs for you in the morning. You will come and judge the earth. Then the people of the world will learn to do what is right.
Isa 26:10  Grace is shown to sinful people. But they still don't learn to do what is right. They keep on doing evil even in a land where others are honest and fair. They don't have any respect for the majesty of the LORD.

Peace, G.Driggs
