Isaiah 29:17-21

The Voice

¹⁷ Surely you know that in just a little while
    the forests that clothe Lebanon will become rich fields
And the fields will be considered as valuable as the forests.
¹⁸ Then the deaf will hear the words read from a book,
    and darkness and gloom will fall from the eyes of the blind.
¹⁹ A renewed sense of joy will come over the humble, thanks to the Eternal;
    and joyous celebrations will break out among the poor, because of the Holy One of Israel.
²⁰ For cruelty and mean-spiritedness will come to an end,
    and those who laugh dismissively will be silenced.
All those who are determined to do evil will be cut down.
²¹ Those who level a false charge against an innocent person,
    who twist an honest testimony and tell lies
    in order to incriminate the innocent, will be stopped.
