Isaiah 29:17

Blessing After Punishment

¹⁶ You have it all backwards. A clay dish does not say to the potter, You did not make me. And should the one made say to the maker, You do not understand? 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 The deaf will be able to hear the words of the book read to them. The blind will be freed from gloom and darkness.
