Isaiah 30:21

God Will Be Gracious

20The Lord will give you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, but your Teacher will no longer hide Himself—with your own eyes you will see Him.21And whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear this command behind you: “This is the way. Walk in it.”22So you will desecrate your silver-plated idols and your gold-plated images. You will throw them away like menstrual cloths, saying to them, “Be gone!”
