Isaiah 30:19-26
New American Standard Bible
19 [a]For, you people in Zion, (A)inhabitant in Jerusalem, you will (B)weep no longer. He will certainly be gracious to you at the sound of your cry; when He hears it, He will (C)answer you. 20 Although the Lord has given you (D)bread of deprivation and water of oppression, He, your Teacher, will no longer (E)hide Himself, but your eyes will see your Teacher. 21 Your ears will hear a word behind you, saying, “This is the (F)way, walk in it,” whenever you (G)turn to the right or to the left. 22 And you will desecrate your carved (H)images plated with silver, and your cast metal (I)images plated with gold. You will scatter them as a filthy thing, and say to [b]them, “(J)Be gone!”
23 Then He will (K)give you rain for your seed which you will sow in the ground, and bread from the yield of the ground, and it will be [c]rich and [d]plentiful; on that day (L)your livestock will graze in a wide pasture. 24 Also the oxen and the donkeys that work the ground will eat [e]seasoned feed, which [f]has been (M)winnowed with shovel and pitchfork. 25 And on every lofty mountain and (N)every high hill there will be [g]streams running with water on the day of the great (O)slaughter, when the towers fall. 26 (P)And the light of the full moon will be like the light of the sun, and the light of the sun will be seven times brighter, like the light of seven days, on the day (Q)the Lord binds up the (R)fracture of His people and (S)heals the wound [h]He has inflicted.

Isaiah 30:19-26
Holman Christian Standard Bible
19 For you people will live on Zion in Jerusalem and will never cry again. He will show favor to you at the sound of your cry; when He hears, He will answer you. 20 The Lord will give you meager bread and water during oppression,(A) but your Teacher[a] will not hide Himself[b] any longer. Your eyes will see your Teacher,[c] 21 and whenever you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear this command behind you: “This is the way. Walk in it.”(B) 22 Then you will defile your silver-plated idols and your gold-plated images. You will throw them away like menstrual cloths, and call them filth.
23 Then He will send rain for your seed that you have sown in the ground, and the food, the produce of the ground, will be rich and plentiful. On that day your cattle will graze in open pastures.(C) 24 The oxen and donkeys that work the ground will eat salted fodder scattered with winnowing shovel(D) and fork. 25 Streams flowing with water will be on every high mountain and every raised hill on the day of great slaughter when the towers fall. 26 The moonlight will be as bright as the sunlight, and the sunlight will be seven times brighter(E)—like the light of seven days—on the day(F) that the Lord bandages His people’s injuries and heals the wounds He inflicted.(G)
