Isaiah 42:13-17
New International Version
Isaiah 42:13-17
New International Version
13 The Lord will march out like a champion,(A)
like a warrior(B) he will stir up his zeal;(C)
with a shout(D) he will raise the battle cry
and will triumph over his enemies.(E)
14 “For a long time I have kept silent,(F)
I have been quiet and held myself back.(G)
But now, like a woman in childbirth,
I cry out, I gasp and pant.(H)
15 I will lay waste(I) the mountains(J) and hills
and dry up all their vegetation;
I will turn rivers into islands
and dry up(K) the pools.
16 I will lead(L) the blind(M) by ways they have not known,
along unfamiliar paths I will guide them;
I will turn the darkness into light(N) before them
and make the rough places smooth.(O)
These are the things I will do;
I will not forsake(P) them.
17 But those who trust in idols,
who say to images, ‘You are our gods,’(Q)
will be turned back in utter shame.(R)
Isaiah 42:13-17
King James Version
Isaiah 42:13-17
King James Version
13 The Lord shall go forth as a mighty man, he shall stir up jealousy like a man of war: he shall cry, yea, roar; he shall prevail against his enemies.
14 I have long time holden my peace; I have been still, and refrained myself: now will I cry like a travailing woman; I will destroy and devour at once.
15 I will make waste mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbs; and I will make the rivers islands, and I will dry up the pools.
16 And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them.
17 They shall be turned back, they shall be greatly ashamed, that trust in graven images, that say to the molten images, Ye are our gods.
