17 Is 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?
18 aIn 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 bThe humble also shall increase their joy in the Lord,
And cthe poor among men shall rejoice
In the Holy One of Israel.
20 For the 5terrible one is brought to nothing,
dThe scornful one is consumed,
And all who ewatch for iniquity are cut off—
21 Who 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.
22 Therefore 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;
23 But 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.
24 These also kwho erred in spirit will come to understanding,
And those who complained will learn doctrine.”

About The New King James VersionThe New King James Version is a total update of the 1611 King James Version, also known as the "Authorized Version." Every attempt has been made to maintain the beauty of the original version while updating the English grammar to contemporary style and usage. The result is much better "readability." It is noteworthy that the NKJV is one of the few modern translations still based on the "Western" or "Byzantine" manuscript tradition. This makes the New King James Version an invaluable aid to comparative English Bible study. |
