Isaiah 42:16-21

16I will 1leadH1980 the blindH5787 by a wayH1870 they do not knowH3045, In pathsH5410 they do not knowH3045 I will guideH1869 them. I will 2makeH7760 darknessH4285 into lightH216 beforeH6440 them And 3ruggedH4625 placesH4625 into plainsH4334. TheseH428 are the thingsH1697 I will doH6213, And I will 4not leaveH5800 them undoneH5800.”17They will be turnedH5472 backH268 and be 5utterlyH954 putH954 to shameH954, Who trustH982 in 6idolsH6459, Who sayH559 to moltenH4541 imagesH4541, “You are our godsH430.”

187HearH8085, you deafH2795! And lookH5027, you blindH5787, that you may seeH7200.19WhoH4310 is blindH5787 but My 8servantH5650, Or so deafH2795 as My 9messengerH4397 whom I sendH7971? WhoH4310 is so blindH5787 as he that is 1011at peaceH7999 with Me, Or so blindH5787 as the servantH5650 of the LordH3068?2012You have seenH7200 manyH7227 thingsH7227, but you do not observeH8104 them; Your earsH241 are openH6491, but noneH3808 hearsH8085.21The LordH3068 was pleasedH2654 for His righteousness’H6664 sakeH4616 To makeH1431 the lawH8451 13greatH1431 and gloriousH142.
