Isaiah 42:14-17
Evangelical Heritage Version
The Lord Shouts
14 I have been silent for a long time.
I have kept still. I have restrained myself.
But now, like a woman giving birth, I will scream.
I will gasp and pant.
15 I will dry up mountains and hills.
I will make all their grass wither.
I will turn rivers into islands.
I will dry up pools.
16 I will lead the blind on a way they do not know.
Along paths they do not know I will direct them.
Ahead of them I will turn darkness into light
and rough places into level ground.
These are the things I will accomplish for them.
I will not abandon them.
17 They will be turned back and completely disgraced—
those who trust in an idol,
those who say to molten images, “You are our gods.”
Isaiah 42:14-17
New International Version
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.
17 But those who trust in idols,
who say to images, ‘You are our gods,’(L)
will be turned back in utter shame.(M)
