"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.
If favor is shown to the [one guilty of sin],
he does not learn righteousness...
he deals corruptly and does not see the majesty of the Lord.
O Lord, in distress they sought You;
they poured out a whispered prayer
when Your discipline was upon them."
Isaiah 26:9-10,16
