New International Version
20 The ruthless(A) will vanish,(B)
the mockers(C) will disappear,
and all who have an eye for evil(D) will be cut down—
21 those who with a word make someone out to be guilty,
who ensnare the defender in court(E)
and with false testimony(F) deprive the innocent of justice.(G)
22 Therefore this is what the Lord, who redeemed(H) Abraham,(I) says to the descendants of Jacob:

Isaiah 29:20-22
King James Version
20 For the terrible one is brought to nought, and the scorner is consumed, and all that watch for iniquity are cut off:
21 That make a man an offender for a word, and lay a snare for him that reproveth in the gate, and turn aside the just for a thing of nought.
22 Therefore thus saith the Lord, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob, Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his face now wax pale.
