Commentary for Isaiah 26:10
יֻחַ֤ן רָשָׁע֙ בַּל־לָמַ֣ד צֶ֔דֶק בְּאֶ֥רֶץ נְכֹח֖וֹת יְעַוֵּ֑ל וּבַל־יִרְאֶ֖ה גֵּא֥וּת יְהוָֽה׃ (ס)
Let favour be shown to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness; In the land of uprightness will he deal wrongfully, And will not behold the majesty of the LORD.
Rashi on Isaiah
Shall the wicked be favored who did not learn righteousness Should you favor the wicked Esau, who lived between two righteous men and did not learn righteousness?

Ibn Ezra on Isaiah
יחן Let favour be shewn. A verb ע״ע; it is a form like יוסב is turned (28:27).10יחַֻן is future Hophal of יוסב ; חנן future Hophal of סבב.—God is merciful to the wicked, but they will not learn righteousness; He has patience with them for a long time, they might perhaps improve.
