English Standard Version

In the path of your judgments, O Lord, we wait for you.

Isaiah 26:8

The Lord disciplines the one he loves, and chastises every son whom he receives. It is for discipline that you have to endure. God is treating you as sons. For what son is there whom his father does not discipline?

Hebrews 12:6-7

Isaiah 26 (English Standard Version)

5 For he has humbled
the inhabitants of the height,
the lofty city.
He lays it low, lays it low to the ground,
casts it to the dust.
6 The foot tramples it,
the feet of the poor,
the steps of the needy.”
7 The path of the righteous is level;
you make level the way of the righteous.
8 In the path of your judgments,
O Lord, we wait for you;
your name and remembrance
are the desire of our soul.
9 My soul yearns for you in the night;
my spirit within me earnestly seeks you.
For when your judgments are in the earth,
the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.
10 If favor is shown to the wicked,
he does not learn righteousness;
in the land of uprightness he deals corruptly
and does not see the majesty of the Lord.
11 O Lord, your hand is lifted up,
but they do not see it.
Let them see your zeal for your people, and be ashamed.
Let the fire for your adversaries consume them.

Hebrews 12 (English Standard Version)

3 Consider him who endured from sinners such hostility against himself, so that you may not grow weary or fainthearted.
4 In your struggle against sin you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood.
5 And have you forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons?
“My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord,
nor be weary when reproved by him.
6 For the Lord disciplines the one he loves,
and chastises every son whom he receives.”
7 It is for discipline that you have to endure. God is treating you as sons. For what son is there whom his father does not discipline?
8 If you are left without discipline, in which all have participated, then you are illegitimate children and not sons.
9 Besides this, we have had earthly fathers who disciplined us and we respected them. Shall we not much more be subject to the Father of spirits and live?
10 For they disciplined us for a short time as it seemed best to them, but he disciplines us for our good, that we may share his holiness.

Yes, we follow your instructions, Lord, we put our hope in you.

Isaiah 26:8

The Lord disciplines everyone he loves, and he punishes everyone he welcomes as his child. Be patient as you experience God's discipline because he is treating you as his children. What child doesn't experience a father's discipline?

Hebrews 12:6-7

Isaiah 26 (Free Bible Version)

5 He brings down those who live so high and mighty; he demolishes the proud city with its high walls, bringing it down to the ground, into the dust.
6 The poor tread it underfoot; the oppressed walk on top of it.
7 You God, do what is right, and you straighten out the way for those who live right; you smooth out their path.
8 Yes, we follow your instructions, Lord, we put our hope in you. What we most want is to remember you and your wonderful character.
9 I look for you in the night; deep inside me I long for you. When your laws are shown to the earth, then the people of the world learn what is right.
10 Though grace is shown to the wicked, they don't learn to do right. Even in a country where people do what's right, they continue to do evil and they don't think about how great the Lord is.
11 Lord, you are holding your hand up, but they don't see it. Let them see your passionate commitment for your people, and be embarrassed; may the fire reserved for your enemies destroy them!

Hebrews 12 (Free Bible Version)

3 Think about Jesus who endured such hostility from sinful people so you don't grow tired and become discouraged.
4 Your resistance so far hasn't cost you blood as you fight against sin.
5 Have you forgotten God's appeal to you when he reasons with you as his children? He says, “My child, don't treat the Lord's discipline lightly, and don't give up when he corrects you either.
6 The Lord disciplines everyone he loves, and he punishes everyone he welcomes as his child.”
7 Be patient as you experience God's discipline because he is treating you as his children. What child doesn't experience a father's discipline?
8 If you are not disciplined, (which everyone has experienced), then you are illegitimate and not true children.
9 For if we respected our earthly fathers who disciplined us, shouldn't we even more be subject to the discipline of our spiritual Father which leads to life?
10 They disciplined us for a short while as they thought appropriate, but God does so for our benefit in order that we can share his holy character.
