Isaiah 29:16-18
Lexham English Bible

16 Your perversity!
    As if a potter[a] shall be regarded as the clay!
That the product of its maker says,
    “He did not make me,”
and the thing made into shape says of its potter,[b]
    “He has no understanding.”

Blessing after Punishment

17 In a very little while[c] shall not Lebanon change into a fruitful land,
    and the fruitful land be regarded as a forest?
18 And on that day, the deaf shall hear the words of a scroll,
    and the eyes of the blind shall see out of gloom and darkness.
