Isaiah 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.

Isaiah 33:24

33:24 No resident of Zion ³  will say, “I am ill”;

the people who live there will have their sin forgiven.

[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.”

[33:24]  ³ tn The words “of Zion” are supplied in the translation for clarification.
