Isaiah 30:19-33

New International Version

¹⁹ People of Zion, who live in Jerusalem, you will weep no more.^(A) How gracious he will be when you cry for help!^(B) As soon as he hears, he will answer^(C) you. ²⁰ Although the Lord gives you the bread^(D) of adversity and the water of affliction, your teachers^(E) will be hidden^(F) no more; with your own eyes you will see them. ²¹ Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice^(G) behind you, saying, “This is the way;^(H) walk in it.” ²² Then you will desecrate your idols^(I) overlaid with silver and your images covered with gold;^(J) you will throw them away like a menstrual^(K) cloth and say to them, “Away with you!^(L)”

²³ He will also send you rain^(M) for the seed you sow in the ground, and the food that comes from the land will be rich^(N) and plentiful.^(O) In that day^(P) your cattle will graze in broad meadows.^{(Q) 24} The oxen^(R) and donkeys that work the soil will eat fodder^(S) and mash, spread out with fork^(T) and shovel. ²⁵ In the day of great slaughter,^(U) when the towers^(V) fall, streams of water will flow^(W) on every high mountain and every lofty hill. ²⁶ The moon will shine like the sun,^(X) and the sunlight will be seven times brighter, like the light of seven full days, when the Lord binds up the bruises of his people and heals^(Y) the wounds he inflicted.
