Isaiah 42:9-16
New American Standard Bible
9 Behold, the (A)former things have come to pass,
Now I declare (B)new things;
Before they sprout I proclaim them to you.”
10 Sing to the Lord a (C)new song,
Sing His praise from the (D)end of the earth!
(E)You who go down to the sea, and (F)all that is in it;
You (G)islands, and those who live on them.
11 Let the (H)wilderness and its cities raise their voices,
The settlements which (I)Kedar inhabits.
Let the inhabitants of (J)Sela sing aloud,
Let them shout for joy from the tops of the (K)mountains.
12 Let them (L)give glory to the Lord
And declare His praise in the (M)coastlands.
13 (N)The Lord will go out like a warrior,
He will stir His (O)zeal like a man of war.
He will shout, indeed, He will raise a war cry.
He will (P)prevail against His enemies.
The Blindness of the People
14 “(Q)I have kept silent for a long time,
I have kept still and restrained Myself.
Now like a woman in labor I will groan,
I will both gasp and pant.
15 I will (R)lay waste the mountains and hills
And wither all their vegetation;
I will (S)turn the rivers into coastlands
And dry up the ponds.
16 I will (T)lead those who are blind by a way they have not known,
In paths they have not known I will guide them.
I will (U)turn darkness into light before them
And (V)uneven land into plains.
These are the things I will do,
And I will (W)not leave them undone.”
