The humble rejoice and understand

17Is it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon will turn into an orchard, and the orchard will be regarded as a forest?

18And on that day the deaf will hear the words of a book, and out of gloom and out of darkness the eyes of the blind will see.

19The humble will again increase their joy in Yahweh, and the poor among mankind will rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.

20For the ruthless one will come to nothing, the scoffer will be finished, and all who watch for wrongdoing will be cut off.

21those who make a man an offender by a word, and lay a snare for the one who reproves in the gate, and turn aside the righteous with emptiness.

22Therefore thus says Yahweh to the house of Jacob, he who redeemed Abraham: Jacob will no longer be ashamed, and his face will no longer grow pale.

23For when he sees his children, the work of my hands, in his midst, they will sanctify my name; they will sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and they will stand in awe of the God of Israel.

24And those who go astray in spirit will come to understanding, and those who grumble will learn instruction.
