Isaiah 29:16-18

New Catholic Bible

¹⁶ Such people are truly perverse.
    Is the potter no better than the clay?
Can what is made say of its maker,
    “He did not make me”?
Can a pot say of the potter,
    “He really has no particular skill”?

¹⁷ It will be but a very short time
    before Lebanon will become a fertile field
    and its orchards will be regarded as forests.
¹⁸ On that day the deaf will hear
    the words of a book being read,
and the eyes of the blind will see,
    delivered from gloom and darkness.
