Isaiah 30:18-20
International Standard Version
Restoration is Promised to Israel
18 “Nevertheless, the Lord will wait
so he can be gracious to you;
and thus he will rise up to show you mercy.
For the Lord is a God of justice.
How blessed are all those who wait for him.”
19 Indeed, you people who live in Zion and in Jerusalem,[a] you[b] will weep no more. How gracious the Lord[c] will be to you at the sound of your cry! As soon as he hears it, he will answer you. 20 And although the Lord gives you the bread of adversity and the water[d] of affliction, your teachers won’t hide themselves[e] anymore, but your own eyes will see your teachers.
