Context of Isaiah 29:24
22Therefore, the Lord, who redeemed Abraham [from paganism] says this, concerning the house of Jacob (Israel): “Jacob will not be ashamed, nor will his face turn pale [with disappointment because of his children’s degenerate behavior]; 23For when he sees his children, the work of My hands, in his midst, They will sanctify My Name; They will sanctify the Holy One of Jacob And will stand in awe and reverent fear of the God of Israel. Those who err in mind will know the truth, And those who criticize and murmur discontentedly will accept instruction.
