Isaiah 29: 17 - 24
|
| 17
|
Is it not yet a very little while until Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be regarded as a forest?
|
| 18
|
In that day the deaf shall hear the words of a book, and out of their gloom and darkness the eyes of the blind shall see.
|
| 19
|
The meek shall obtain fresh joy in the LORD, and the poor among men shall exult in the Holy One of Israel.
|
| 20
|
For the ruthless shall come to nought and the scoffer cease, and all who watch to do evil shall be cut off,
|
| 21
|
who by a word make a man out to be an offender, and lay a snare for him who reproves in the gate, and with an empty plea turn aside him who is in the right.
|
| 22
|
Therefore thus says the LORD, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob: "Jacob shall no more be ashamed, no more shall his face grow pale.
|
| 23
|
For 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 will stand in awe of the God of Israel.
|
| 24
|
And those who err in spirit will come to understanding, and those who murmur will accept instruction."
