Isaiah 29:21 (BSB)
Context Reading
19The humble will increase their joy in the LORD, and the poor among men will rejoice in the Holy One of Israel. 20For the ruthless will vanish, the mockers will disappear, and all who look for evil will be cut down — 21those who indict a man with a word, who ensnare the mediator at the gate, and who with false charges deprive the innocent of justice. 22Therefore the LORD who redeemed Abraham says of the house of Jacob: “No longer will Jacob be ashamed and no more will his face grow pale. 23For when he sees his children around him, the work of My hands, they will honor My name, they will sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and they will stand in awe of the God of Israel.
