Isaiah 42:15-17

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁵ I will destroy the hills and mountains.
    I will dry up all the plants that grow there.
I will change rivers to dry land
    and dry up pools of water.
¹⁶ Then I will lead the blind along a path they never knew
    to places where they have never been before.
I will change darkness into light for them.
    I will make the rough ground smooth.
I will do these things for them;
    I will not abandon my people.
¹⁷ But some of them have left me.
    They say to their gold statues, ‘You are my gods.’
They trust their false gods,
    but they will be disappointed and shamed.
