Isaiah

Isaiah 29:18–24

¹⁸On that day the deaf will hear the words of the scroll,

and out of the deep darkness the eyes of the blind will see.

¹⁹The humble will increase their joy in the LORD,

and the poor among men will rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.

²⁰For the ruthless will vanish,

the mockers will disappear,

and all who look for evil

will be cut down—

²¹those who indict a man with a word,

who ensnare the mediator at the gate,

and who with false charges

deprive the innocent of justice.

²²Therefore the LORD who redeemed Abraham says of the house of Jacob:

“No longer will Jacob be ashamed

and no more will his face grow pale.

²³For when he sees his children around him,

the work of My hands,

they will honor My name,

they will sanctify the Holy One of Jacob,

and they will stand in awe

of the God of Israel.

²⁴Then the wayward in spirit will come to understanding,

and those who grumble will accept instruction.”
