Isaiah 30:22

The Lord Will Heal His People's Wounds

²¹ and whenever you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear this command behind you: “This is the way. Walk in it.” ²² Then you will defile your silver-plated idols and your gold-plated images. You will throw them away like menstrual cloths, and call them filth. ²³ Then He will send rain for your seed that you have sown in the ground, and the food, the produce of the ground, will be rich and plentiful. On that day your cattle will graze in open pastures.
