¹⁷Shall not Lebanon in a very little while become a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be regarded as a forest? ¹⁸On that day the deaf shall hear the words of a scroll, and out of their gloom and darkness the eyes of the blind shall see. ¹⁹The meek shall obtain fresh joy in the Lord, and the neediest people shall exult in the Holy One of Israel. ²⁰For the tyrant shall be no more, and the scoffer shall cease to be; all those alert to do evil shall be cut off— ²¹those who cause a person to lose a lawsuit, who set a trap for the arbiter in the gate, and without grounds deny justice to the one in the right. ²²Therefore thus says the Lord, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob: No longer shall Jacob be ashamed, no longer shall his face grow pale. ²³For 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 Jacob, and will stand in awe of the God of Israel. ²⁴And those who err in spirit will come to understanding, and those who grumble will accept instruction.
