Isaiah 29:18

Blessing After Punishment

¹⁷ Is it not yet just a little while
Before Lebanon will be turned into a fertile field,
And the fertile field will be considered as a forest?
¹⁸ On that day the deaf will hear words of a book,
And out of their gloom and darkness the eyes of the blind will see.
¹⁹ The afflicted also will increase their gladness in the Lord,
And the needy of mankind will rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
