Isaiah 29:15-21
15Those who try to hide their plans from the Lord are as good as dead, who do their work in secret and boast, “Who sees us? Who knows what we’re doing?”
16Your thinking is perverse! Should the potter be regarded as clay? Should the thing made say about its maker, “He didn’t make me”? Or should the pottery say about the potter, “He doesn’t understand”?
17In just a very short time Lebanon will turn into an orchard, and the orchard will be considered a forest.
18At that time the deaf will be able to hear words read from a scroll, and the eyes of the blind will be able to see through deep darkness.
19The downtrodden will again rejoice in the Lord; the poor among humankind will take delight in the Holy One of Israel.
20For tyrants will disappear, those who taunt will vanish, and all those who love to do wrong will be eliminated –
21those who bear false testimony against a person, who entrap the one who arbitrates at the city gate and deprive the innocent of justice by making false charges.
