Isaiah 42:14-16

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁴ The Lord says,
    ‘I have been quiet for a long time.
    I have held back my anger.
But now I am ready to deliver!
I will cry out and shout and groan,
    like a woman who is ready to give birth.
¹⁵ I will destroy the mountains and the hills.
    I will cause the plants that grow on them to die.
I will cause the rivers to become dry islands.
    I will cause the pools of water to become dry.
¹⁶ I will lead my blind people
    along ways that they did not know before.
I will be their guide,
    as they walk along paths that are new to them.
I will change the dark places that are in front of them,
    so that they become places with light.
And I will cause the rough ground to become flat.
Those are the things that I will do for them.
    I will not leave my people alone.
