Isaiah 29:20
Compare all
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 aThe humble also shall increase their joy in the Lord,
And bthe poor among men shall rejoice
In the Holy One of Israel. 
20 For the1 terrible one is brought to nothing,
aThe scornful one is consumed,
And all who bwatch for iniquity are cut off— 
21 Who make a man an offender by a word,
And alay a snare for him who reproves in the gate,
And turn aside the just bby empty words.  
22 Therefore thus says the Lord, awho redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob:
“Jacob shall not now be bashamed,
Nor shall his face now grow pale; 
23 But when he sees his children,
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.
