Isaiah 42:16-21

16I will lead the blind by ways they have not known, along unfamiliar paths I will guide them; I will turn the darkness into light before them and make the rough places smooth. These are the things I will do; I will not forsake them.

17But those who trust in idols, who say to images, ‘You are our gods,’ will be turned back in utter shame.

18“Hear, you deaf; look, you blind, and see!

19Who is blind but my servant, and deaf like the messenger I send? Who is blind like the one in covenant with me, blind like the servant of the Lord?

20You have seen many things, but you pay no attention; your ears are open, but you do not listen.”

21It pleased the Lord for the sake of his righteousness to make his law great and glorious.
