14 The Lord says, “For a long time I have said nothing.
    I have been quiet and held myself back.
But now I will cry out.
    I will strain like a woman giving birth to a child.
15 I will destroy the hills and mountains.
    I will dry up all the plants that grow there.
I will make the rivers become dry land.
    I will dry up the pools of water.
16 Then I will lead the blind along a way they never knew.
    I will guide them along paths they have not known.
I will make the darkness become light for them.
    And I will make the rough ground smooth.
These are the things I will do.
    I will not leave my people.

14 “For a long time I have kept silent,(A)
    I have been quiet and held myself back.(B)
But now, like a woman in childbirth,
    I cry out, I gasp and pant.(C)
15 I will lay waste(D) the mountains(E) and hills
    and dry up all their vegetation;
I will turn rivers into islands
    and dry up(F) the pools.
16 I will lead(G) the blind(H) by ways they have not known,
    along unfamiliar paths I will guide them;
I will turn the darkness into light(I) before them
    and make the rough places smooth.(J)
These are the things I will do;
    I will not forsake(K) them.
