Hope for the Future

17 Is it not yet a very little while
    until Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field,
    and the fruitful field shall be regarded as a forest?
18 In that day the deaf shall hear
    the words of a book,
and out of their gloom and darkness
    the eyes of the blind shall see.
19 The meek shall obtain fresh joy in the Lord,
    and the poor among men shall exult in the Holy One of Israel.

    and the fertile field seem like a forest?(D)
18 In that day(E) the deaf(F) will hear the words of the scroll,
    and out of gloom and darkness(G)
    the eyes of the blind will see.(H)
19 Once more the humble(I) will rejoice in the Lord;
    the needy(J) will rejoice in the Holy One(K) of Israel.
