Isaiah 30:18-21

18Therefore the Lord 1 2longs to be gracious to you, And therefore He 3waits on 4high to have compassion on you. For the Lord is a 5God of justice; How blessed are all those who 6 7long for Him.

19 8For, you people in Zion, 9inhabitant in Jerusalem, you will 10weep no longer. He will certainly be gracious to you at the sound of your cry; when He hears it, He will 11answer you. 20Although the Lord has given you 12bread of deprivation and water of oppression, He, your Teacher, will no longer 13hide Himself, but your eyes will see your Teacher. 21Your ears will hear a word behind you, saying, “This is the 14way, walk in it,” whenever you 15turn to the right or to the left.
