Isaiah 42:15-17

Common English Bible

¹⁵ I will wither mountains and valleys,
    and I will dry up all their vegetation.
I will turn rivers into deserts,^[a]
    and I will dry up pools.
¹⁶ I will make the blind walk a road they don’t know,
    and I will guide them in paths they don’t know.
But I will make darkness before them into light
    and rough places into level ground.
These things I will do;
    I won’t abandon them.

¹⁷ Turned backward, utterly shamed
    are those who trust in idols,
    who say to a cast image,
    “You are our god!”
