Isaiah 30:18-20
New American Bible (Revised Edition)

Zion’s Future Deliverance

18 Truly, the Lord is waiting to be gracious to you,
    truly, he shall rise to show you mercy;
For the Lord is a God of justice:
    happy are all who wait for him!(A)
19 Yes, people of Zion, dwelling in Jerusalem,
    you shall no longer weep;
He will be most gracious to you when you cry out;
    as soon as he hears he will answer you.(B)
20 The Lord will give you bread in adversity
    and water in affliction.
No longer will your Teacher[a] hide himself,
    but with your own eyes you shall see your Teacher,(C)
