Isaiah 29:17-21

Modern English Version

¹⁷ Is it not yet a very little while before Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field,
    and the fruitful field shall be counted as a forest?
¹⁸ And on that day the deaf shall hear the words of a book,
    and the eyes of the blind shall see
    out of obscurity and darkness.
¹⁹ The meek also shall increase their joy in the Lord,
    and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
²⁰ For the ruthless shall come to nothing,
    and the scorner will be consumed,
    and all who are intent on doing iniquity shall be cut off—
²¹ those who cause a man to be indicted by a word,
    and lay a snare for him who reproves in the gate,
    and turn aside the righteous with meaningless arguments.
