Context of Isaiah 29:22
20For the ruthless one will vanish, the scorner will disappear, and all those who lie in wait with evil intent will be killed — 21those who, with their speech, accuse a person of wrongdoing, who set a trap for the one mediating at the city gate and without cause deprive the righteous of justice. Therefore, the Lord who redeemed Abraham says this about the house of Jacob: Jacob will no longer be ashamed, and his face will no longer be pale. 23For when he sees his children, the work of my hands within his nation, they will honor my name, they will honor the Holy One of Jacob and stand in awe of the God of Israel. 24Those who are confused will gain understanding, and those who grumble will accept instruction.
