LORD, [when] thy hand is lifted up, they will not see: [but] they shall see, and be ashamed for [their] envy at the people; yea, the fire of thine enemies shall devour them.
Isaiah 26:11 — KJV
They will not see. When God lifts up His hand in kindness, for the guidance and protection of His people, the wicked do not see. They see not because they are willingly blind to spiritual things. But the time will come when they will be forced to see. Then, and not until then, they will be ashamed of the course they have taken. Envy. Heb. qin’ah, “ardor,” “passion,” “zeal.” A reading of the middle portion of v. 11 more in harmony with the context would be, “they shall see [thy] ardor for [thy] people, and be ashamed.” The fire of thine enemies. That is, “the fire [reserved] for thine enemies.”
