Isaiah 42:14-16

Christian Standard Bible

¹⁴ “I have kept silent from ages past;
I have been quiet and restrained myself.^(A)
But now, I will groan like a woman in labor,^(B)
gasping breathlessly.
¹⁵ I will lay waste mountains and hills
and dry up all their vegetation.
I will turn rivers into islands
and dry up marshes.^(C)
16 I will lead the blind by a way they did not know;^(D)
I will guide them on paths they have not known.
I will turn darkness to light in front of them^(E)
and rough places into level ground.^(F)
This is what I will do for them,
and I will not abandon them.^(G)
