Isaiah 29:17-21

International Children’s Bible

¹⁷ In a very short time, Lebanon will become rich farmland.
    And the rich farmland will seem like a forest.
¹⁸ At that time the deaf will hear the words in a book.
    Instead of having darkness and gloom, the blind will see.
¹⁹ The Lord will make the poor people happy.
    They will rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
²⁰ Then the people without mercy will come to an end.
    Those who do not respect God will disappear.
    Those who enjoy doing evil will be gone.
²¹ Those who lie about others in court will be gone.
    Those who trap people in court will be gone.
    Those who lie and take justice from innocent people in court will be gone.
