Isaiah 42:14-16
Authorized (King James) Version
Isaiah 42:14-16
Authorized (King James) Version
14 I have long time holden my peace;
I have been still, and refrained myself:
now will I cry like a travailing woman;
I will destroy and devour at once.
15 I will make waste mountains and hills,
and dry up all their herbs;
and I will make the rivers islands,
and I will dry up the pools.
16 And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not;
I will lead them in paths that they have not known:
I will make darkness light before them,
and crooked things straight.
These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them.
Isaiah 42:14-16
New International Version
Isaiah 42:14-16
New International Version
14 “For a long time I have kept silent,(A)
I have been quiet and held myself back.(B)
But now, like a woman in childbirth,
I cry out, I gasp and pant.(C)
15 I will lay waste(D) the mountains(E) and hills
and dry up all their vegetation;
I will turn rivers into islands
and dry up(F) the pools.
16 I will lead(G) the blind(H) by ways they have not known,
along unfamiliar paths I will guide them;
I will turn the darkness into light(I) before them
and make the rough places smooth.(J)
These are the things I will do;
I will not forsake(K) them.
