Isaiah 42:15-17

New Catholic Bible

¹⁵ I will lay waste mountains and hills
    and dry up all their vegetation.
I will convert rivers into islands
    and dry up the pools.
¹⁶ I will lead the blind^[a]
    and guide them along paths they do not know.
I will turn darkness into light before them
    and make straight their winding roads.
These are the things I will do for them,
    and I will not forsake them.
¹⁷ But those who place their trust in idols
    and who say to carved images,
“You are our gods,”
    will be turned back in bitter shame.
