14 The Lord says, “For a long time I have ·said nothing [kept silent/still];
    I have been ·quiet [still] and held myself back.
But now I will cry out
    and ·strain [pant and gasp] like a woman giving birth to a child.
15 I will ·destroy [level; lay waste] the hills and mountains
    and dry up all their plants.
I will make the rivers become ·dry land [L islands; or coastlands]
    and dry up the pools of water.
16 Then I will lead the blind along a way they never knew;
    I will guide them along paths they have not known.
I will make the darkness become light for them,
    and the rough ground smooth.
These are the things I will do;
    I will not ·leave [abandon; forsake] my people.
