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

¹⁴ “I have kept silent for a long time,
I have kept still and restrained Myself.
Now like a woman in labor I will groan,
I will both gasp and pant.
¹⁵ “I will lay waste the mountains and hills
And wither all their vegetation;
I will make the rivers into coastlands
And dry up the ponds.
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.”
