Isaiah 29:20

Blessing After Punishment

¹⁹ The humble will have joy
after joy in the Lord,
and the poor people will rejoice
in the Holy One of Israel.
²⁰ For the ruthless one will vanish,
the scorner will disappear,
and all those who lie in wait with evil intent
will be killed—
²¹ those who, with their speech,
accuse a person of wrongdoing,
who set a trap at the gate for the mediator,
and without cause deprive the righteous of justice.

But where is the fury of the oppressor?
