Episode Synopsis

Matins Readings and Homily on Isaiah 29:17-24Isa 29:17  Is it not yet a very little while until Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be regarded as a forest?Isa 29:18  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.Isa 29:19  The meek shall obtain fresh joy in the LORD, and the poor among mankind shall exult in the Holy One of Israel.Isa 29:20  For the ruthless shall come to nothing and the scoffer cease, and all who watch to do evil shall be cut off,Isa 29:21  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.Isa 29:22  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.Isa 29:23  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.Isa 29:24  And those who go astray in spirit will come to understanding, and those who murmur will accept instruction.”
