Isaiah 42:13-17

13The Lord will march forth like a mighty hero; he will come out like a warrior, full of fury. He will shout his battle cry and crush all his enemies.

14He will say, “I have long been silent; yes, I have restrained myself. But now, like a woman in labor, I will cry and groan and pant.

15I will level the mountains and hills and blight all their greenery. I will turn the rivers into dry land and will dry up all the pools.

16I will lead blind Israel down a new path, guiding them along an unfamiliar way. I will brighten the darkness before them and smooth out the road ahead of them. Yes, I will indeed do these things; I will not forsake them.

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