Isaiah 29:17

Blessing After Punishment

¹⁶ O your perversity! Shall the former be counted as the potter's clay; for shall the work say of him who made it, He did not make me? Or shall the thing formed say to him who formed it, He had no understanding? ¹⁷ Is it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be counted as a forest? ¹⁸ And in that day the deaf shall hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of their gloom and darkness.
