Isaiah 29:17-21

17Is it not yet just a little while 1Before Lebanon will be turned into a 2fertile field, And the fertile field will be considered as a forest?18On that day the 3deaf will hear 4words of a book, And out of their gloom and darkness the 5eyes of the blind will see.19The 6afflicted also will increase their gladness in the Lord, And the 7needy of mankind will rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.20For the 8ruthless will come to an end and the 9scorner will be finished, Indeed 10all who 11are intent on doing evil will be cut off;21Who 12cause a person to be indicted by a word, And 13ensnare him who adjudicates at the gate, And 1415defraud the one in the right with 16meaningless arguments.
