And the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity and out of darkness.
And bthe poor among men shall rejoice
In the Holy One of Israel.
aThe scornful one is consumed,
And all who bwatch for iniquity are cut off—
And alay a snare for him who reproves in the gate,
And turn aside the just bby empty words.
“Jacob shall not now be bashamed,
Nor shall his face now grow pale;
aThe 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.

Isaiah 29:20
For the terrible one - The violent one ( ‛ârı̂yts ), the oppressor, who had exercised cruelty over them. This, I suppose, refers to the haughty among the Jews themselves; to those who held offices of power, and who abused them to oppress the poor and needy.
And the scorner - (see Isaiah 28:14, Isaiah 28:22).
Is consumed - Shall be entirely destroyed.
And all that watch for iniquity - That is, who anxiously seek for opportunities to commit iniquity.
