Holy Scripture

Isaiah 26:10

A church father on this verse
“When, by such faith and knowledge, the Lord's people have embraced this true life, they surely receive the joy of heaven. The wicked, on the other hand, since they don't care about the Lord's life, are rightly deprived of its blessings. For, "let the wicked be taken away so that he shall not see the glory of the Lord.…”
Athanasius of Alexandria, 4th c. — FESTAL LETTER 7:2

Original

10For the ungodly one is put down: no one who will not learn righteousness on the earth, shall be able to do the truth: let the ungodly be taken away, that he see not the glory of the Lord.

In context

8For the way of the Lord is judgment: we have hoped in thy name, and on the remembrance of thee,

9which our soul longs for: my spirit seeks thee very early in the morning, O God, for thy commandments are a light on the earth: learn righteousness, ye that dwell upon the earth.

— Isaiah 26:10 —

11O Lord, thine arm is exalted, yet they knew it not: but when they know they shall be ashamed: jealousy shall seize upon an untaught nation, and now fire shall devour the adversaries.

12O Lord our God, give us peace: for thou hast rendered to us all things.
