Yahweh promises help

Isa 42:14–17

42:14 Yahweh promises help

14 I’ve been silent for a long time now.

≈ I’ve been still—I’ve restrained myself.

Now I’ll cry out like a woman giving birth.

I’ll puff and pant at the same time.

15 I’ll make the mountains and hills dry up

≈ and all their vegetation will wither.

plus I’ll turn the rivers into islands

≈ and dry up the pools.


16 I’ll lead the blind down a path that they don’t know.

≈ I’ll guide them on roads that they’re not familiar with.

I’ll make the dark places in front of them, light,

≈ and the rough places into level ground.

I’ll do those things for them, and I won’t abandon them.

17 Those who trust in idols will be turned back and totally humiliated—

those who tell a cast metal figure, ‘You’re our god.’
