Isaiah 29:17-19

Contemporary English Version

¹⁷ Soon the forest of Lebanon
will become a field with crops,
    thick as a forest.^[a]
18 The deaf will be able to hear
    whatever is read to them;
the blind will be freed
    from a life of darkness.
¹⁹ The poor and the needy
    will celebrate and shout
because of the Lord,
    the holy God of Israel.
