Isaiah 29:18-23 English Standard Version (ESV)

18. In that day the deaf shall hear the words of a book,and out of their gloom and darkness the eyes of the blind shall see.

19. The meek shall obtain fresh joy in the Lord,and the poor among mankind shall exult in the Holy One of Israel.

20. For the ruthless shall come to nothingand the scoffer cease,and all who watch to do evil shall be cut off,

21. who by a word make a man out to be an offender,and lay a snare for him who reproves in the gate,and with an empty plea turn aside him who is in the right.

22. Therefore thus says the Lord, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob:“Jacob shall no more be ashamed,no more shall his face grow pale.

23. For when he sees his children, the work of my hands, in his midst,they will sanctify my name; they will sanctify the Holy One of Jacoband will stand in awe of the God of Israel.
