Isaiah 42:14-17
New American Standard Bible
The Blindness of the People
14 “(A)I have kept silent for a long time,
I have kept still and restrained Myself.
Now like a woman in labor I will groan,
I will both gasp and pant.
15 I will (B)lay waste the mountains and hills
And wither all their vegetation;
I will (C)turn the rivers into coastlands
And dry up the ponds.
16 I will (D)lead those who are blind by a way they have not known,
In paths they have not known I will guide them.
I will (E)turn darkness into light before them
And (F)uneven land into plains.
These are the things I will do,
And I will (G)not leave them undone.”
17 They will be turned back and be (H)utterly put to shame,
Who trust in [a]idols,
Who say to cast metal images,
“You are our gods.”

Isaiah 42:14-17
Common English Bible
14 I’ve kept still for a very long time.
I’ve been silent and restrained myself.
Like a woman in labor I will moan;
I will pant, I will gasp.
15 I will wither mountains and valleys,
and I will dry up all their vegetation.
I will turn rivers into deserts,[a]
and I will dry up pools.
16 I will make the blind walk a road they don’t know,
and I will guide them in paths they don’t know.
But I will make darkness before them into light
and rough places into level ground.
These things I will do;
I won’t abandon them.
Blindness and deafness
17 Turned backward, utterly shamed
are those who trust in idols,
who say to a cast image,
“You are our god!”
