29 ¹⁵ Woe to those who hide deep from Yahweh their counsel,
whose deeds are in the dark,
and who say, "Who sees us? Who knows us?"
29 ¹⁶ You turn things upside down!
Shall the potter be regarded as the clay;
that the thing made should say of its maker,
"He did not make me";
or the thing formed say of him who formed it,
"He has no understanding"?

29 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?
29 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.
29 ¹⁹ The meek shall obtain fresh joy in Yahweh,
and the poor among men shall exult in the Holy One of Israel.
29 ²⁰ For the ruthless shall come to nought and the scoffer cease,
and all who watch to do evil shall be cut off,
29 ²¹ who by a word make a man out to be an offender,
and lay a snare for him who reproves in the gate,
and with an empty plea turn aside him who is in the right.

29 ²² Therefore thus says Yahweh, who redeemed Abraham,
concerning the house of Jacob:
"Jacob shall no more be ashamed,
no more shall his face grow pale.
29 ²³ For when he sees his children,
the work of my hands, in his midst,
they will sanctify my name;
they will sanctify the Holy One of Jacob,
and will stand in awe of the God of Israel.
29 ²⁴ And those who err in spirit will come to understanding,
and those who murmur will accept instruction."
