Isaiah 29:18-24

18At that time, deaf people will be able to hear when someone is reading words from a book. Blind people who have been living in a dark place will be able see what is happening.

19And the Lord will make weak people happy again. Poor people will sing with joy, because of what the Holy God of Israel has done.

20Cruel people will disappear. Proud people who insult others will no longer be there. There will be no more people who love to do evil things.

21It will be the same for people who tell lies in court. They deceive the judge at the city gate. They say false things against good people to make them guilty. People who are like that will have gone!

22So this is what the Lord says to Jacob's descendants. He is the one who rescued Abraham. He says, ‘Jacob's descendants will no longer be ashamed. Their faces will show their shame no more.

23They will see that I have blessed them so that they have many children. Then they will agree that I am great. They will praise me, the Holy God of Jacob. They will respect me, Israel's God.

24At that time, people with minds that are confused will understand what is right. And people who like to complain will accept my teaching.’
