Context of Isaiah 26:12
10Although the wicked are shown pity, they do not learn to do what is right. They do what is wrong in the upright land and do not see the majesty of the Lord. 11O Lord, your power is visible, but they do not see it. They will see how devoted your people are, and they will be put to shame. Your burning anger will destroy your enemies. O Lord, you will establish peace for us, since you have done everything for us. 13O Lord, our God, you are not the only master to rule us, but we acknowledge only you. 14The wicked are dead. They are no longer alive. The spirits of the dead won’t rise. You have punished them, destroyed them, and wiped out all memory of them.
