Isaiah 29:17-21

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁷ In a very short time Lebanon will be turned into a fertile field
and the fertile field will be considered a forest.
¹⁸ When that day comes, the deaf will hear the words written in the book.
The blind will see out of their gloom and darkness.
¹⁹ Humble people again will find joy in the Lord.
The poorest of people will find joy in the Holy One of Israel.
²⁰ Tyrants will be gone.
Mockers will be finished.
All who look for ways to do wrong will come to an end:
²¹ those who make people sin with words,
those who lay traps for judges,
those who, without any reason, deny justice
to people who are in the right.
