Isaiah 29:17-21

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁷ Isn’t it true that in a very short time
    Lebanon will be turned into a fertile field,
    and the fertile field will seem like a forest?
¹⁸ On that day, the deaf will hear the words from a book,
and out of gloom and darkness the eyes of the blind will see.
¹⁹ The humble will rejoice in the Lord once again,
and the poor will delight in the Holy One of Israel.
²⁰ But the ruthless will come to nothing.
Those who mock will be no more,
and all those who plan evil will be cut off—
²¹ all those who slander others with a word,
all those who argue cases at the city gate,
all those who use false testimony to deprive the innocent of justice.
