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.

Revised Standard Version
19 Yea, O people in Zion who dwell at Jerusalem; you shall weep no more. He will surely be gracious to you at the sound of your cry; when he hears it, he will answer you. 20 And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, yet your Teacher will not hide himself any more, but your eyes shall see your Teacher. 21 And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, “This is the way, walk in it,” when you turn to the right or when you turn to the left. 22 Then you will defile your silver-covered graven images and your gold-plated molten images. You will scatter them as unclean things; you will say to them, “Begone!”
23 And he will give rain for the seed with which you sow the ground, and grain, the produce of the ground, which will be rich and plenteous. In that day your cattle will graze in large pastures; 24 and the oxen and the asses that till the ground will eat salted provender, which has been winnowed with shovel and fork. 25 And upon every lofty mountain and every high hill there will be brooks running with water, in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall. 26 Moreover the light of the moon will be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun will be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day when the Lord binds up the hurt of his people, and heals the wounds inflicted by his blow.
