Isaiah 42:16-21

16I 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.

17Then those who trust idols and those who say to statues, “You are our gods” will be turned away and put to shame.

18Listen, you deaf people. Look, you blind people, so that you can see.

19Who is blind except my servant or deaf like the messenger I send? Who is blind like the one who has my trust or blind like the servant of the Lord?

20You have seen much, but you do not observe anything. Your ears are open, but you hear nothing.

21The Lord is pleased because he does what is right. He praises the greatness of his teachings and makes them glorious.
