Isaiah 29:13-24

13Then the LordH136 saidH559, “BecauseH3282H3588 1thisH2088 peopleH5971 drawH5066 nearH5066 with their 2wordsH6310 And honorH3513 Me with their 3lipH8193 serviceH8193, But they removeH7368 their heartsH3820 farH7368 from Me, And their 4reverenceH3372 for Me 5consistsH1961 of 6traditionH4687H376 learnedH3925 by rote,14ThereforeH3651 beholdH2009, I will once againH3254 dealH6381 7marvelouslyH6381 with thisH2088 peopleH5971, wondrouslyH6381 marvelousH6381; And 8the wisdomH2451 of their wiseH2450 menH2450 will perishH6, And the discernmentH998 of their discerningH995 men will be concealedH5641.”

15WoeH1945 to those who deeplyH6009 9hideH5641 their 10plansH6098 from the LordH3068, And whose 11deedsH4639 are done in a darkH4285 placeH4285, And they sayH559, “12WhoH4310 seesH7200 us?” or “WhoH4310 knowsH3045 us?”16You turnH2016 things aroundH2016! Shall the potterH3335 be consideredH2803 13as equal with the clayH2563, That 14whatH4639 is madeH4639 would sayH559 to its makerH6213, “He did not makeH6213 me”; Or whatH3336 is formedH3335 sayH559 to him who formedH3335 it, “He has noH3808 understandingH995”?

17Is it not yetH5750 just a littleH4592 whileH4592 15Before LebanonH3844 will be turnedH7725 into a 16fertileH3759 fieldH3759, And the fertileH3759 fieldH3759 will be consideredH2803 as a forestH3293?18On that dayH3117 the 17deafH2795 will hearH8085 18wordsH1697 of a bookH5612, And out of their gloomH652 and darknessH2822 the 19eyesH5869 of the blindH5787 will seeH7200.19The 20afflictedH6035 also will increaseH3254 their gladnessH8057 in the LordH3068, And the 21needyH34 of mankindH120 will rejoiceH1523 in the HolyH6918 OneH6918 of IsraelH3478.20For the 22ruthlessH6184 will comeH656 to an endH656 and the 23scornerH3917 will be finishedH3615, Indeed 24allH3605 who 25are intentH8245 on doingH8245 evilH205 will be cutH3772 offH3772;21Who 26cause a personH120 to be indictedH2398 by a wordH1697, And 27ensnareH6983 him who adjudicatesH3198 at the gateH8179, And 2829defraudH5186 the oneH6662 in the rightH6662 with 30meaninglessH8414 argumentsH8414.

22ThereforeH3651 thusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, whoH834 redeemedH6299 31AbrahamH85, concerningH413 the houseH1004 of JacobH3290: “JacobH3290 32shall not nowH6258 be ashamedH954, norH3808 shall his faceH6440 nowH6258 turnH2357 paleH2357;23But whenH3588 33he seesH7200 his 34childrenH3206, the 35workH4639 of My handsH3027, in his midstH7130, They will sanctifyH6942 My nameH8034; Indeed, they will 36sanctifyH6942 the HolyH6918 OneH6918 of JacobH3290 And will standH6206 in aweH6206 of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478.24Those who 37errH8582 in 38mindH7307 will 39knowH3045 40the truthH998, And those who 41criticizeH7279 will 4243acceptH3925 instructionH3948.
