Sanctification for the Godly

17 In a very short time, [will not] Lebanon become an orchard, and the orchard seem like a forest?

18 On that day the deaf will hear the words of the scroll, and out of the deep darkness the eyes of the blind will see.

19 The humble will increase [their] joy in the LORD, and the poor among men will rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.

20 For the ruthless will vanish, the mockers will disappear, and all who look for evil will be cut down—

21 those who indict a man with a word, who ensnare the mediator at the gate, and who with false charges deprive the innocent of justice.

22 Therefore the LORD who redeemed Abraham says of the house of Jacob: “No longer will Jacob be ashamed and no more will his face grow pale.

23 For when he sees his children around him, the work of My hands, they will honor My name, they will sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and they will stand in awe of the God of Israel.

24 Then the wayward in spirit will come to understanding, and those who grumble will accept instruction.”
