A Song Of Praise To Yahweh

15 I will make waste mountains and hills and dry up all their grass, and I will make the rivers islands, and I will dry up the pools. 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 shall be turned back; they shall be greatly ashamed, that trust in graven images, that say to the molten images, Ye are our gods.
