Isaiah 42:13-17

13The Lord marches out to battle, like a brave soldier. He is angry with his enemies, and he is ready to attack them. He shouts loudly as he attacks, and he shows his power over them.

14The Lord says, ‘I have been quiet for a long time. I have held back my anger. But now I am ready to deliver! I will cry out and shout and groan, like a woman who is ready to give birth.

15I will destroy the mountains and the hills. I will cause the plants that grow on them to die. I will cause the rivers to become dry islands. I will cause the pools of water to become dry.

16I will lead my blind people along ways that they did not know before. I will be their guide, as they walk along paths that are new to them. I will change the dark places that are in front of them, so that they become places with light. And I will cause the rough ground to become flat. Those are the things that I will do for them. I will not leave my people alone.

17But I will push away people who trust idols to help them. Those people will become ashamed. They say to images that they have made, “You are our gods.”
