Isaiah 42:16-18
Modern English Version
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.
17 They shall be turned back, they shall be greatly ashamed,
who trust in graven images,
who say to the molded images, “You are our gods.”
Israel’s Disobedience
18 Hear, you deaf;
look, you blind, that you may see.
Isaiah 42:16-18
New International Version
16 I will lead(A) the blind(B) by ways they have not known,
along unfamiliar paths I will guide them;
I will turn the darkness into light(C) before them
and make the rough places smooth.(D)
These are the things I will do;
I will not forsake(E) them.
17 But those who trust in idols,
who say to images, ‘You are our gods,’(F)
will be turned back in utter shame.(G)
Israel Blind and Deaf
18 “Hear, you deaf;(H)
look, you blind, and see!
