19Once more the humble will rejoice in the Lord;

the needy will rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.

20The ruthless will vanish,

the mockers will disappear,

and all who have an eye for evil will be cut down—

21those who with a word make a man out to be guilty,

who ensnare the defender in court

and with false testimony deprive the innocent of justice.

22Therefore this is what the Lord, who redeemed Abraham, says to the house of Jacob:

“No longer will Jacob be ashamed;

no longer will their faces grow pale.

23When they see among them their children,

the work of my hands,

they will keep my name holy;

they will acknowledge the holiness of the Holy One of Jacob,

and will stand in awe of the God of Israel.

24Those who are wayward in spirit will gain understanding;

those who complain will accept instruction.”
