Isaiah 42:14-16

The Voice

¹⁴ Eternal One: As a woman fiercely strains to give birth, I will gasp, pant, and cry out.
        I have been quiet for a long time; I have held back in the face of it all.
    Well, no more.
¹⁵     When My power is loosed, I will make level the heights
        and render them bare.
    I will dry up the rivers until bare islands appear,
        and empty the sweet water from the pools.
¹⁶     I will escort the blind down roads they do not know,
        guide them down paths they’ve never seen.
    I will smooth their passage and light their way.
        I will indeed do it—they are abandoned no more.
