18 (A)In that day the deaf shall hear the words of the book,
And the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity and out of darkness.
19 (B)The humble also shall increase their joy in the Lord,
And (C)the poor among men shall rejoice
In the Holy One of Israel.
20 For the [a]terrible one is brought to nothing,
(D)The scornful one is consumed,
And all who (E)watch for iniquity are cut off—
21 Who make a man an offender by a word,
And (F)lay a snare for him who reproves in the gate,
And turn aside the just (G)by empty words.
