16 “I will (A)lead the blind by a way they do not know,
In paths they do not know I will guide them.
I will (B)make darkness into light before them
And (C)rugged places into plains.
These are the things I will do,
And I will (D)not leave them undone.”
17 They will be turned back and be (E)utterly put to shame,
Who trust in [a]idols,
Who say to molten images,
“You are our gods.”

18 (F)Hear, you deaf!
And look, you blind, that you may see.
