Isaiah 42:15-17

International Standard Version

¹⁵ I’ll devastate the mountains and hills,
    and dry up all their vegetation;
I’ll turn rivers into islands,
    and dry up the ponds.
¹⁶ I’ll help the blind walk,
    even^[a] on a road they do not know;
I’ll guide them
    in directions^[b] they do not know.
I’ll turn the dark places^[c] into light in front of them,
    and the rough places into level ground.
These are the things I will do,
    and I won’t abandon them.
¹⁷ Those who trust in carved idols
    will turn back and^[d] be completely disappointed,^[e]
along with those^[f] who say to metal images,
    ‘You are our gods.’”
