Isaiah 29:17-24

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 those who are 3deaf will hear 4words of a book, And out of their gloom and darkness the 5eyes of those who are blind will see.19The 6afflicted also will increase their joy 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 eliminated,21Who 12cause a person to be indicted by a word, And 13set a trap for the arbitrator at the gate, And 1415defraud the one in the right with 16meaningless arguments.

22Therefore this is what the Lord, who redeemed 17Abraham, says concerning the house of Jacob: “Jacob 18will not be ashamed now, nor will his face turn pale now;23But when 19he sees his 20children, the 21work of My hands, in his midst, They will sanctify My name; Indeed, they will 22sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, And will stand in awe of the God of Israel.24Those who 23err in 24mind will 25know 26the truth, And those who 27criticize will 2829accept instruction.
