Isaiah 29:20-22
New American Bible (Revised Edition)

the scoffer shall cease to be;
All who are ready for evil shall be cut off,(A)
21 those who condemn with a mere word,
Who ensnare the defender at the gate,

the God of the house of Jacob,
who redeemed Abraham:[a]
No longer shall Jacob be ashamed,
no longer shall his face grow pale.(C)
