Isaiah 29:18

Blessing After Punishment

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. ¹⁹ And the poor will have their joy in the Lord increased, and those in need will be glad in the Holy One of Israel.
