Isaiah 29:21 Context
19The meeke also shall increase their ioy in the Lord, and the poore among men shall reioice in the holy One of Israel. 20For the terrible one is brought to nought, and the scorner is consumed, and all that watch for iniquitie are cut off: 21That make a man an offendour for a word, and lay a snare for him that reproueth in the gate, and turne aside the iust for a thing of nought. 22Therefore thus saith the Lord who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Iacob: Iacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his face now waxe pale. 23But when hee seeth his children the worke of mine hands in the midst of him, they shall sanctifie my Name, and sanctifie the Holy One of Iacob, and shall feare the God of Israel.
