Context of Isaiah 29:24
22So this is what the Lord, the one who delivered Abraham, says to the family of Jacob: “Jacob will no longer be ashamed; their faces will no longer show their embarrassment. 23For when they see their children, whom I will produce among them, they will honor my name. They will honor the Holy One of Jacob; they will respect the God of Israel. Those who stray morally will gain understanding; those who complain will acquire insight.

- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 2424. They ... that erred--(Is 28:7). learn doctrine--rather, "shall receive discipline" or "instruction."
