Isaiah 29:15-24

15WoeH1945 to those who deeplyH6009 1hideH5641 their 2plansH6098 from the LordH3068, And whose 3deedsH4639 are done in a darkH4285 placeH4285, And they sayH559, “4WhoH4310 seesH7200 us?” or “WhoH4310 knowsH3045 us?”16You turnH2016 things aroundH2016! Shall the potterH3335 be consideredH2803 5as equal with the clayH2563, That 6whatH4639 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 7Before LebanonH3844 will be turnedH7725 into a 8fertileH3759 fieldH3759, And the fertileH3759 fieldH3759 will be consideredH2803 as a forestH3293?18On that dayH3117 the 9deafH2795 will hearH8085 10wordsH1697 of a bookH5612, And out of their gloomH652 and darknessH2822 the 11eyesH5869 of the blindH5787 will seeH7200.19The 12afflictedH6035 also will increaseH3254 their gladnessH8057 in the LordH3068, And the 13needyH34 of mankindH120 will rejoiceH1523 in the HolyH6918 OneH6918 of IsraelH3478.20For the 14ruthlessH6184 will comeH656 to an endH656 and the 15scornerH3917 will be finishedH3615, Indeed 16allH3605 who 17are intentH8245 on doingH8245 evilH205 will be cutH3772 offH3772;21Who 18cause a personH120 to be indictedH2398 by a wordH1697, And 19ensnareH6983 him who adjudicatesH3198 at the gateH8179, And 20 21defraudH5186 the oneH6662 in the rightH6662 with 22meaninglessH8414 argumentsH8414.

22ThereforeH3651 thusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, whoH834 redeemedH6299 23AbrahamH85, concerningH413 the houseH1004 of JacobH3290: “JacobH3290 24shall not nowH6258 be ashamedH954, norH3808 shall his faceH6440 nowH6258 turnH2357 paleH2357;23But whenH3588 25he seesH7200 his 26childrenH3206, the 27workH4639 of My handsH3027, in his midstH7130, They will sanctifyH6942 My nameH8034; Indeed, they will 28sanctifyH6942 the HolyH6918 OneH6918 of JacobH3290 And will standH6206 in aweH6206 of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478.24Those who 29errH8582 in 30mindH7307 will 31knowH3045 32the truthH998, And those who 33criticizeH7279 will 34 35acceptH3925 instructionH3948.
