Isaiah 42:14-17

View Full Chapter

14“For a long time I have kept silent, I have been quiet and held myself back. But now, like a woman in childbirth, I cry out, I gasp and pant.

15I will lay waste the mountains and hills and dry up all their vegetation; I will turn rivers into islands and dry up the pools.

16I will lead the blind by ways they have not known, along unfamiliar paths I will guide them; I will turn the darkness into light before them and make the rough places smooth. These are the things I will do; I will not forsake them.

17But those who trust in idols, who say to images, ‘You are our gods,’ will be turned back in utter shame.
