Isaiah 42:16 BBE

¹⁴  I have long been quiet, I have kept myself in and done nothing: now I will make sounds of pain like a woman in childbirth, breathing hard and quickly.

¹⁵  I will make waste mountains and hills, drying up all their plants; and I will make rivers dry, and pools dry land.

¹⁶  And I will take the blind by a way of which they had no knowledge, guiding them by roads strange to them: I will make the dark places light before them, and the rough places level. These things will I do and will not give them up.

¹⁷  They will be turned back and be greatly shamed who put their hope in pictured images, who say to metal images, You are our gods.

¹⁸  Give ear, you whose ears are shut; and let your eyes be open, you blind, so that you may see.
