Isaiah 29:17-21

Legacy Standard Bible

¹⁷ Is it not yet just a little while
^[a]Before Lebanon will be turned into a ^(A)fruitful orchard,
And the fruitful orchard will be counted as a forest?
¹⁸ On that day the ^(B)deaf will hear ^(C)words of a book,
And out of ^[b]darkness and thick darkness the ^(D)eyes of the blind will see.
¹⁹ The ^(E)afflicted also will increase their gladness in Yahweh,
And the ^(F)needy of mankind will rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
²⁰ For the ^(G)ruthless will come to an end and the ^(H)scoffer will be finished,
Indeed ^(I)all who are watching out to do evil will be cut off;
²¹ Who ^[c]cause a person to sin by a word,
And ^(J)ensnare him who reproves at the gate,
And ^[d](K)defraud the one in the right with ^[e]meaningless arguments.
