Isaiah 42:16-18
New English Translation

16 I will lead the blind along an unfamiliar way;[a]
I will guide them down paths they have never traveled.[b]
I will turn the darkness in front of them into light,
and level out the rough ground.[c]
This is what I will do for them.
I will not abandon them.
17 Those who trust in idols
will turn back and be utterly humiliated,[d]
those who say to metal images, ‘You are our gods.’

The Lord Reasons with His People

18 “Listen, you deaf ones!
Take notice,[e] you blind ones!
