Context of Isaiah 29:22
20Tyrants will be gone. Mockers will be finished. All who look for ways to do wrong will come to an end: 21those who make people sin with words, those who lay traps for judges, those who, without any reason, deny justice to people who are in the right. This is what the Lord, who saved Abraham, says about the descendants of Jacob: Jacob will no longer be ashamed. Jacob’s face will no longer turn pale. 23When they see all their children, the children I made with my hands, they will acknowledge my name as holy. They will treat the Holy One of Jacob as holy. They will stand in terror of the God of Israel. 24Then those who are wayward in spirit will gain understanding, and those who complain will accept instruction.
