Isaiah 29:17–24

Future Recovery of Wisdom

¹⁷Is it not yet a very little while

Till ^zLebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field,

And the fruitful field be esteemed as a forest?

^18aIn 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.

^19bThe humble also shall increase their joy in the Lord,

And ^cthe poor among men shall rejoice

In the Holy One of Israel.

²⁰For the ⁵terrible one is brought to nothing,

^dThe scornful one is consumed,

And all who ^ewatch for iniquity are cut off—

²¹Who make a man an offender by a word,

And ^flay a snare for him who reproves in the gate,

And turn aside the just ^gby empty words.

²²Therefore thus says the Lord, ^hwho redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob:

“Jacob shall not now be ⁱashamed,

Nor shall his face now grow pale;

²³But when he sees his children,

^jThe work of My hands, in his midst,

They will hallow My name,

And hallow the Holy One of Jacob,

And fear the God of Israel.

²⁴These also ^kwho erred in spirit will come to understanding,

And those who complained will learn doctrine.”
