Isaiah 29:17-21
Modern English Version
Isaiah 29:17-21
Modern English Version
17 Is it not yet a very little while before Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field,
and the fruitful field shall be counted as a forest?
18 And on that day the deaf shall hear the words of a book,
and the eyes of the blind shall see
out of obscurity and darkness.
19 The meek also shall increase their joy in the Lord,
and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
20 For the ruthless shall come to nothing,
and the scorner will be consumed,
and all who are intent on doing iniquity shall be cut off—
21 those who cause a man to be indicted by a word,
and lay a snare for him who reproves in the gate,
and turn aside the righteous with meaningless arguments.

Isaiah 29:17-21
New International Version
17 In a very short time,(A) will not Lebanon(B) be turned into a fertile field(C)
and the fertile field seem like a forest?(D)
18 In that day(E) the deaf(F) will hear the words of the scroll,
and out of gloom and darkness(G)
the eyes of the blind will see.(H)
19 Once more the humble(I) will rejoice in the Lord;
the needy(J) will rejoice in the Holy One(K) of Israel.
20 The ruthless(L) will vanish,(M)
the mockers(N) will disappear,
and all who have an eye for evil(O) will be cut down—
21 those who with a word make someone out to be guilty,
who ensnare the defender in court(P)
and with false testimony(Q) deprive the innocent of justice.(R)
