The Lord’s Help Is Promised

14 I have for a long time held My peace;
    I have been still and refrained Myself.
Now I will cry like a travailing woman;
    I will destroy and devour at once.
15 I will lay waste mountains and hills
    and dry up all their vegetation,
and I will make the rivers islands,
    and I will dry up the pools.
16 I will bring the blind by a way that they did not know;
    I will lead them in paths that they have not known.
I will make darkness light before them
    and crooked things straight.
These things I will do for them
    and not forsake them.

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.
