Isaiah 29:13-24

13So Adonai says, “Since these people draw near with their mouths and honor Me with their lips, yet their hearts are far from Me, and their fear of Me is a mitzvah taught by men.

14Therefore, behold, once more I will do a marvelous work among this people— a marvel and a wonder— so the wisdom of their wise will perish, and the discernment of their discerning will be concealed.”

15Oy , those who go to great depths to hide their plans from Adonai! Their works are in the dark. They say, “Who sees us? Who knows us?”

16Your perversity! Should the potter be regarded the same as the clay? Should the thing made say to its maker, “You did not make me”? Or the thing formed say of its former, “You have no understanding?”

17Will it not be just a very little while before Lebanon turns into a garden, and a garden will seem like a forest?

18In that day the deaf will hear words of a book, and out of gloom and darkness the eyes of the blind will see.

19The meek will add to their joy in Adonai, and the needy of humanity will rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.

20For the ruthless will come to an end and the scorner will be finished, and all watching to do evil cut off.

21Those who make a man out to be guilty with a word, and trap him who reproves at the gate, and deny justice with meaninglessness.

22Therefore, thus says Adonai, Redeemer of Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob: “Jacob will no longer be ashamed, no longer will his face grow pale;

23for when he sees his children, the work of My hands in his midst, they will sanctify My Name; they will sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and stand in awe of the God of Israel.

24Those who go astray in spirit will come to understanding, and those who murmur will learn instruction.”
