Isaiah 29:18-20
New English Translation
18 At that time[a] the deaf will be able to hear words read from a scroll,
and the eyes of the blind will be able to see through deep darkness.[b]
19 The downtrodden will again rejoice in the Lord;
the poor among humankind will take delight[c] in the Holy One of Israel.[d]
20 For tyrants will disappear,
those who taunt will vanish,
and all those who love to do wrong will be eliminated[e]—
