Is it not yet a very little while Till Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field, And the fruitful field be esteemed as a forest?
18
In 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
The humble also shall increase their joy in the Lord, And the poor among men shall rejoice In the Holy One of Israel.
20
For the terrible one is brought to nothing, The scornful one is consumed, And all who watch for iniquity are cut off--
21
Who make a man an offender by a word, And lay a snare for him who reproves in the gate, And turn aside the just by empty words.
22
Therefore thus says the Lord, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob: "Jacob shall not now be ashamed, Nor shall his face now grow pale;
23
But when he sees his children, The 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 who erred in spirit will come to understanding, And those who complained will learn doctrine."
