Isaiah 29:17

Blessing After Punishment

¹⁶ You turn things around!
Shall the potter be considered as equal with the clay,
That what is made would say to its maker, “He did not make me”;
Or what is formed say to him who formed it, “He has no understanding”? 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.
