Isaiah 29:17-21
The Voice
17 Surely you know that in just a little while
the forests that clothe Lebanon will become rich fields
And the fields will be considered as valuable as the forests.
18 Then the deaf will hear the words read from a book,
and darkness and gloom will fall from the eyes of the blind.
19 A renewed sense of joy will come over the humble, thanks to the Eternal;
and joyous celebrations will break out among the poor, because of the Holy One of Israel.
20 For cruelty and mean-spiritedness will come to an end,
and those who laugh dismissively will be silenced.
All those who are determined to do evil will be cut down.
21 Those who level a false charge against an innocent person,
who twist an honest testimony and tell lies
in order to incriminate the innocent, will be stopped.
Isaiah 29:17-21

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)
