Isaiah 42:14-16
Lexham English Bible
Isaiah 42:14-16
Lexham English Bible
14 I have been silent for a long time;
I have kept silent;
I have restrained myself like one giving birth;
I will moan, pant, and gasp together.
15 I will cause mountains and hills to dry up,
and I will cause all their herbage to wither;
and I will make rivers like islands,
and I will cause pools to dry up.
16 And I will lead the blind by a road they do not know;
I will cause them to tread on paths they have not known.
I will make darkness in their presence[a] into light
and rough places into level ground.
These are the things I will do,
and I will not forsake them.
