*
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 .
*
The meek shall obtain fresh joy in the LORD ,
and the poor among men shall exult in the Holy One of Israel .
*
For the ruthless shall come to nought and the scoffer cease ,
and all who watch to do evil shall be cut off ,
*
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 .
*
Therefore thus says the LORD ,
who redeemed Abraham ,
concerning the house of Jacob : "
Jacob shall no more be ashamed ,
no more shall his face grow pale .
*
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 .
*
And those who err in spirit will come to understanding ,
and those who murmur will accept instruction ."
