Isaiah 29:9-24

91Be delayedH4102 and waitH8539, BlindH8173 yourselves and be blindH8173; They 2becomeH7937 drunkH7937, but not with wineH3196, They staggerH5128, but not with strongH7941 drinkH7941.10For the LordH3068 has pouredH5258 overH5921 you a spiritH7307 of deepH8639 3sleepH8639, He has 4shutH6105 your eyesH5869, the prophetsH5030; And He has coveredH3680 your headsH7218, the seersH2374. 11The entireH3605 visionH2380 will be to you like the wordsH1697 of a sealedH2856 56bookH5612, whichH834 when they giveH5414 it to the one who 7is literateH3045H5612, sayingH559, “PleaseH4994 readH7121 thisH2088,” he will sayH559, “I cannotH3201H3808, for it is sealedH2856.” 12Then the 8bookH5612 will be givenH5414 to the one whoH834 9is illiterateH3808H3045H5612, sayingH559, “PleaseH4994 readH7121 thisH2088.” And he will sayH559, “I 10cannotH3808 readH3045H5612.”

13Then the LordH136 saidH559, “BecauseH3282H3588 11thisH2088 peopleH5971 drawH5066 nearH5066 with their 12wordsH6310 And honorH3513 Me with their 13lipH8193 serviceH8193, But they removeH7368 their heartsH3820 farH7368 from Me, And their 14reverenceH3372 for Me 15consistsH1961 of 16traditionH4687H376 learnedH3925 by rote,14ThereforeH3651 beholdH2009, I will once againH3254 dealH6381 17marvelouslyH6381 with thisH2088 peopleH5971, wondrouslyH6381 marvelousH6381; And 18the wisdomH2451 of their wiseH2450 menH2450 will perishH6, And the discernmentH998 of their discerningH995 men will be concealedH5641.”

15WoeH1945 to those who deeplyH6009 19hideH5641 their 20plansH6098 from the LordH3068, And whose 21deedsH4639 are done in a darkH4285 placeH4285, And they sayH559, “22WhoH4310 seesH7200 us?” or “WhoH4310 knowsH3045 us?”16You turnH2016 things aroundH2016! Shall the potterH3335 be consideredH2803 23as equal with the clayH2563, That 24whatH4639 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 25Before LebanonH3844 will be turnedH7725 into a 26fertileH3759 fieldH3759, And the fertileH3759 fieldH3759 will be consideredH2803 as a forestH3293?18On that dayH3117 the 27deafH2795 will hearH8085 28wordsH1697 of a bookH5612, And out of their gloomH652 and darknessH2822 the 29eyesH5869 of the blindH5787 will seeH7200.19The 30afflictedH6035 also will increaseH3254 their gladnessH8057 in the LordH3068, And the 31needyH34 of mankindH120 will rejoiceH1523 in the HolyH6918 OneH6918 of IsraelH3478.20For the 32ruthlessH6184 will comeH656 to an endH656 and the 33scornerH3917 will be finishedH3615, Indeed 34allH3605 who 35are intentH8245 on doingH8245 evilH205 will be cutH3772 offH3772;21Who 36cause a personH120 to be indictedH2398 by a wordH1697, And 37ensnareH6983 him who adjudicatesH3198 at the gateH8179, And 3839defraudH5186 the oneH6662 in the rightH6662 with 40meaninglessH8414 argumentsH8414.

22ThereforeH3651 thusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, whoH834 redeemedH6299 41AbrahamH85, concerningH413 the houseH1004 of JacobH3290: “JacobH3290 42shall not nowH6258 be ashamedH954, norH3808 shall his faceH6440 nowH6258 turnH2357 paleH2357;23But whenH3588 43he seesH7200 his 44childrenH3206, the 45workH4639 of My handsH3027, in his midstH7130, They will sanctifyH6942 My nameH8034; Indeed, they will 46sanctifyH6942 the HolyH6918 OneH6918 of JacobH3290 And will standH6206 in aweH6206 of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478.24Those who 47errH8582 in 48mindH7307 will 49knowH3045 50the truthH998, And those who 51criticizeH7279 will 5253acceptH3925 instructionH3948.
