Isaiah 42:14-17 - God Promises To Help His People

¹⁴ I was silent of old; I will be still, I will restrain myself: as she bringing forth I will cry out; I will lay waste and snuff up together. ¹⁵ I will lay waste mountains and hills, and I will dry up all their green herbage; and I set the rivers for islands, and I will dry up the pools. ¹⁶ I brought the blind by a way they knew not; and I will cause them to tread in beaten paths they knew not: I will set darkness for light before them, and crooked ways into straightness; these words I did them, and I forsook them not ¹⁷ They were turned back, they will be ashamed with shame, trusting in the carved image, saying to the molten image, Thou our God.
