Isaiah 42:17

A Song Of Praise To Yahweh

¹⁶ “I will lead the blind by a way they do not know,
In paths they do not know I will guide them.
I will make darkness into light before them
And rugged places into plains.
These are the things I will do,
And I will not leave them undone.”
¹⁷ They will be turned back and be utterly put to shame,
Who trust in idols,
Who say to molten images,
“You are our gods.”
¹⁸ Hear, you deaf!
And look, you blind, that you may see.
