Isaiah 42:15-17
International Standard Version
15 I’ll devastate the mountains and hills,
and dry up all their vegetation;
I’ll turn rivers into islands,
and dry up the ponds.
16 I’ll help the blind walk,
even[a] on a road they do not know;
I’ll guide them
in directions[b] they do not know.
I’ll turn the dark places[c] into light in front of them,
and the rough places into level ground.
These are the things I will do,
and I won’t abandon them.
17 Those who trust in carved idols
will turn back and[d] be completely disappointed,[e]
along with those[f] who say to metal images,
‘You are our gods.’”

New International Version
15 I will lay waste(A) the mountains(B) and hills
and dry up all their vegetation;
I will turn rivers into islands
and dry up(C) the pools.
16 I will lead(D) the blind(E) by ways they have not known,
along unfamiliar paths I will guide them;
I will turn the darkness into light(F) before them
and make the rough places smooth.(G)
These are the things I will do;
I will not forsake(H) them.
17 But those who trust in idols,
who say to images, ‘You are our gods,’(I)
will be turned back in utter shame.(J)
