Isaiah 30:18-25

The Lord Will Be Gracious

18 Therefore the Lord awaits to be gracious to you,
and therefore he bexalts himself to show mercy to you.
For the Lord is a God of justice;
cblessed are all those who wait for him.
19For a people shall dwell din Zion, in Jerusalem; you shall weep no more. He will surely be gracious to you at the sound of your cry. As soon as he hears it, he answers you. 20And though the Lord give you the ebread of adversity and the fwater of affliction, gyet your Teacher will not hide himself anymore, but your eyes shall see your Teacher. 21 hAnd your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, “This is ithe way, walk in it,” when you turn to the right or when you turn to the left. 22Then you will defile your carved idols overlaid with silver and your gold-plated metal images. jYou will scatter them as unclean things. You will say to them, “Be gone!”

23 kAnd he will give lrain for the seed with which you sow the ground, and bread, the produce of the ground, which will be rich and plenteous. mIn that day your livestock will graze in large pastures, 24and nthe oxen and the donkeys that work the ground will eat seasoned fodder, which has been winnowed with shovel and fork. 25And oon every lofty mountain and every high hill there will be brooks running with water, in the day of the great slaughter, pwhen the towers fall.
