Isaiah 29:17

Blessing After Punishment

¹⁶ You are turning things upside down! Is the wet earth the same to you as the one who is forming it? will the thing made say of him who made it, He made me not: or the thing formed say of him who gave it form, He has no knowledge? ¹⁷ In a very short time Lebanon will become a fertile field, and the fertile field will seem like a wood. ¹⁸ And in that day those whose ears are stopped will be hearing the words of the book; and the eyes of the blind will see through the mist and the dark.
