Isaiah 29:17-21
Authorized (King James) Version
17 Is it not yet a very little while,
and Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field,
and the fruitful field shall be esteemed as a forest?
18 And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book,
and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity,
and out of 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 terrible one is brought to nought,
and the scorner is consumed,
and all that watch for iniquity are cut off:
21 that make a man an offender for a word,
and lay a snare for him that reproveth in the gate,
and turn aside the just for a thing of nought.
Isaiah 29:17-21
New King James Version
Future Recovery of Wisdom
17 Is it not yet a very little while
Till (A)Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field,
And the fruitful field be esteemed as a forest?
18 (B)In that day the deaf shall hear the words of the book,
And the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity and out of darkness.
19 (C)The humble also shall increase their joy in the Lord,
And (D)the poor among men shall rejoice
In the Holy One of Israel.
20 For the [a]terrible one is brought to nothing,
(E)The scornful one is consumed,
And all who (F)watch for iniquity are cut off—
21 Who make a man an offender by a word,
And (G)lay a snare for him who reproves in the gate,
And turn aside the just (H)by empty words.
