15
I will lay waste mountains and hills, and dry up all their vegetation. I will turn rivers into islands, and dry up marshes.
Isaiah 42:15 In-Context
13
The LORD will march out like a champion, like a warrior he will stir up his zeal; with a shout he will raise the battle cry and will triumph over his enemies.
14
“For a long time I have kept silent, I have been quiet and held myself back. But now, like a woman in childbirth, I cry out, I gasp and pant.
15
I will lay waste the mountains and hills and dry up all their vegetation; I will turn rivers into islands and dry up the pools.
16
I 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.
17
But those who trust in idols, who say to images, ‘You are our gods,’ will be turned back in utter shame.
