Isaiah 29:17-21
Legacy Standard Bible

The Afflicted Will Rejoice

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.

New American Standard Bible 1995

Blessing after Discipline

17 Is it not yet just a little while
[a]Before Lebanon will be turned into a (A)fertile field,
And the fertile field will be considered as a forest?
18 On that day the (B)deaf will hear (C)words of a book,
And out of their gloom and darkness the (D)eyes of the blind will see.
19 The (E)afflicted also will increase their gladness in the Lord,
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)scorner will be finished,
Indeed (I)all who [b]are intent on doing evil will be cut off;
21 Who [c]cause a person to be indicted by a word,
And (J)ensnare him who adjudicates at the gate,
And [d](K)defraud the one in the right with [e]meaningless arguments.
