14 I have been silent for a long time.
    I kept quiet and held myself back.
    But like a woman in childbirth I will cry out.
    I will gasp and pant.
15 I will lay waste to mountains and hills.
    I will dry up all their vegetation.
    I will turn rivers into islands.
    I will dry up ponds.
16 I will lead the blind on unfamiliar roads.
    I will lead them on unfamiliar paths.
    I will turn darkness into light in front of them.
    I will make rough places smooth.
    These are the things I will do for them,
        and I will never abandon them.

    and dry up(F) the pools.
16 I will lead(G) the blind(H) by ways they have not known,
    along unfamiliar paths I will guide them;
I will turn the darkness into light(I) before them
    and make the rough places smooth.(J)
These are the things I will do;
    I will not forsake(K) them.
