Isaiah 42:14-16

International Children’s Bible

¹⁴ The Lord says, “For a long time I have said nothing.
    I have been quiet and held myself back.
But now I will cry out.
    I will strain like a woman giving birth to a child.
¹⁵ I will destroy the hills and mountains.
    I will dry up all the plants that grow there.
I will make the rivers become dry land.
    I will dry up the pools of water.
¹⁶ Then I will lead the blind along a way they never knew.
    I will guide them along paths they have not known.
I will make the darkness become light for them.
    And I will make the rough ground smooth.
These are the things I will do.
    I will not leave my people.
