Isaiah 26:10

Let favour be shewed to the lawless, he hath not learned righteousness, In a land of honest dealings, he acteth perversely,—And seeth not the splendour of Yahweh.

The Emphasised Bible by J. B. Rotherham

In The King James Version

Let favour be shewed to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness: in the land of uprightness will he deal unjustly, and will not behold the majesty of the LORD.
