15 The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining.

16 The Lord also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but the Lord will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel.

17 So shall ye know that I am the Lord your God dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain: then shall Jerusalem be holy, and there shall no strangers pass through her any more.

15 The (A)sun and moon have become dark,
And the stars have lost their brightness.
16 The Lord (B)roars from Zion
And (C)utters His voice from Jerusalem,
And the (D)heavens and the earth quake.
But the Lord is a (E)refuge for His people,
And a (F)stronghold for the sons of Israel.
17 Then you will (G)know that I am the Lord your God,
Dwelling on Zion, My (H)holy mountain.
So Jerusalem will be (I)holy,
And (J)strangers will no longer pass through it.

12 Let them give glory unto the Lord, and declare his praise in the islands.

13 The Lord shall go forth as a mighty man, he shall stir up jealousy like a man of war: he shall cry, yea, roar; he shall prevail against his enemies.

14 I have long time holden my peace; I have been still, and refrained myself: now will I cry like a travailing woman; I will destroy and devour at once.

15 I will make waste mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbs; and I will make the rivers islands, and I will dry up the pools.

16 And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them.

17 They shall be turned back, they shall be greatly ashamed, that trust in graven images, that say to the molten images, Ye are our gods.

18 Hear, ye deaf; and look, ye blind, that ye may see.

12 Let them (A)give glory to the Lord
And declare His praise in the (B)coastlands.
13 (C)The Lord will go out like a warrior,
He will stir His (D)zeal like a man of war.
He will shout, indeed, He will raise a war cry.
He will (E)prevail against His enemies.

The Blindness of the People

14 (F)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 (G)lay waste the mountains and hills
And wither all their vegetation;
I will (H)turn the rivers into coastlands
And dry up the ponds.
16 I will (I)lead those who are blind by a way they have not known,
In paths they have not known I will guide them.
I will (J)turn darkness into light before them
And (K)uneven land into plains.
These are the things I will do,
And I will (L)not leave them undone.”
17 They will be turned back and be (M)utterly put to shame,
Who trust in [a]idols,
Who say to cast metal images,
“You are our gods.”

18 (N)Hear, you who are deaf!
And look, you who are blind, so that you may see.

38 And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?

39 And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.

25 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea.

26 And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.

27 But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.

28 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.

29 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.

30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.

31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?
