Verse 16

Isaiah 42:16

Young's Literal Translation

16 And I have caused the blind to go, In a way they have not known, In paths they have not known I cause them to tread, I make a dark place before them become light, And unlevelled places become a plain, These [are] the things I have done to them, And I have not forsaken them.

English Translation
And I will lead the blind on a way they do not know; in paths they do not know I will guide them. I will turn darkness before them into light and crooked things into straight. These things I have done, and I have not forsaken them.
