Isaiah 42:15-25
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 42
15
I will lay waste the mountains and hills
And wither all their vegetation;
I will turn the rivers into coastlands
And dry up the ponds.
16
I will lead those who are blind by a way they have not known,
In paths they have not known I will guide them.
I will turn darkness into light before them
And uneven land into plains.
These are the things I will do,
And I will not leave them undone.'
17
They will be turned back
and
be utterly put to shame,
Who trust in idols,
Who say to cast metal images,
'You are our gods.'
18
Hear, you who are deaf!
And look, you who are blind, so that you may see.
19
Who is blind but My servant,
Or so deaf as My messenger whom I send?
Who is so blind as one who is at peace
with Me,
Or so blind as the servant of the
Lord
?
20
You have seen many things, but you do not retain
them;
Your
ears are open, but no one hears.
21
The
Lord
was pleased for His righteousness’ sake
To make the Law great and glorious.
22
But this is a people plundered and pillaged;
All of them are trapped in caves,
Or are hidden away in prisons;
They have become plunder, with no one to save
them,
And
spoils with no one to say, 'Give
them
back!'
23
Who among you will listen to this?
Who
will pay attention and listen in the time to come?
24
Who gave Jacob up for spoils, and Israel to plunderers?
Was it not the
Lord
, against whom we have sinned,
And in whose ways they were not willing to walk,
And whose Law they did not obey?
25
So He poured out on him the heat of His anger
And the fierceness of battle;
And it set him aflame all around,
Yet he did not recognize
it;
And it burned him, but he paid no attention.
King James Version
Chapter 42
15
I will make waste mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbs; and I will make the rivers islands, and I will dry up the pools.
16
And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them.
17
They shall be turned back, they shall be greatly ashamed, that trust in graven images, that say to the molten images, Ye are our gods.
18
Hear, ye deaf; and look, ye blind, that ye may see.
19
Who is blind, but my servant? or deaf, as my messenger that I sent? who is blind as he that is perfect, and blind as the
Lord
'S servant?
20
Seeing many things, but thou observest not; opening the ears, but he heareth not.
21
The
Lord
is well pleased for his righteousness' sake; he will magnify the law, and make it honourable.
22
But this is a people robbed and spoiled; they are all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison houses: they are for a prey, and none delivereth; for a spoil, and none saith, Restore.
23
Who among you will give ear to this? who will hearken and hear for the time to come?
24
Who gave Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to the robbers? did not the
Lord
, he against whom we have sinned? for they would not walk in his ways, neither were they obedient unto his law.
25
Therefore he hath poured upon him the fury of his anger, and the strength of battle: and it hath set him on fire round about, yet he knew not; and it burned him, yet he laid it not to heart.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 42
15
I will lay waste mountains and hills
and dry up all their vegetation.
I will turn rivers into islands
and dry up marshes.
16
I will lead the blind by a way they did not know;
I will guide them on paths they have not known.
I will turn darkness to light in front of them
and rough places into level ground.
This is what I will do for them,
and I will not abandon them.
17
They will be turned back and utterly ashamed—
those who trust in an idol
and say to a cast image,
‘You are our gods!’
18
"Listen, you deaf!
Look, you blind, so that you may see.
19
Who is blind but my servant,
or deaf like my messenger I am sending?
Who is blind like my dedicated one,
or blind like the servant of the
Lord
?
20
Though seeing many things, you pay no attention.
Though his ears are open, he does not listen."
21
Because of his righteousness, the
Lord
was pleased
to magnify his instruction and make it glorious.
22
But this is a people plundered and looted,
all of them trapped in holes
or imprisoned in dungeons.
They have become plunder
with no one to rescue them
and loot, with no one saying, "Give it back!"
23
Who among you will hear this?
Let him listen and obey in the future.
24
Who gave Jacob to the robber,
and Israel to the plunderers?
Was it not the
Lord
?
Have we not sinned against him?
They were not willing to walk in his ways,
and they would not listen to his instruction.
25
So he poured out his furious anger
and the power of war on Jacob.
It surrounded him with fire, but he did not know it;
it burned him, but he didn’t take it to heart.
New Living Translation
Chapter 42
15
I 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.
16
I 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.
17
But those who trust in idols,
who say, ‘You are our gods,’
will be turned away in shame.
18
'Listen, you who are deaf!
Look and see, you blind!
19
Who is as blind as my own people, my servant?
Who is as deaf as my messenger?
Who is as blind as my chosen people,
the servant of the
Lord
?
20
You see and recognize what is right
but refuse to act on it.
You hear with your ears,
but you don’t really listen.'
21
Because he is righteous,
the
Lord
has exalted his glorious law.
22
But his own people have been robbed and plundered,
enslaved, imprisoned, and trapped.
They are fair game for anyone
and have no one to protect them,
no one to take them back home.
23
Who will hear these lessons from the past
and see the ruin that awaits you in the future?
24
Who allowed Israel to be robbed and hurt?
It was the
Lord
, against whom we sinned,
for the people would not walk in his path,
nor would they obey his law.
25
Therefore, he poured out his fury on them
and destroyed them in battle.
They were enveloped in flames,
but they still refused to understand.
They were consumed by fire,
but they did not learn their lesson.
English Standard Version
Chapter 42
15
I will lay waste mountains and hills,
and dry up all their vegetation;
I will turn the rivers into islands,
and dry up the pools.
16
And I will lead the blind
in a way that they do not know,
in paths that they have not known
I will guide them.
I will turn the darkness before them into light,
the rough places into level ground.
These are the things I do,
and I do not forsake them.
17
They are turned back and utterly put to shame,
who trust in carved idols,
who say to metal images,
"You are our gods."
18
Hear, you deaf,
and look, you blind, that you may see!
19
Who is blind but my servant,
or deaf as my messenger whom I send?
Who is blind as my dedicated one,
or blind as the servant of the
Lord
?
20
He sees many things, but does not observe them;
his ears are open, but he does not hear.
21
The
Lord
was pleased, for his righteousness ' sake,
to magnify his law and make it glorious.
22
But this is a people plundered and looted;
they are all of them trapped in holes
and hidden in prisons;
they have become plunder with none to rescue,
spoil with none to say, "Restore!"
23
Who among you will give ear to this,
will attend and listen for the time to come?
24
Who gave up Jacob to the looter,
and Israel to the plunderers?
Was it not the
Lord
, against whom we have sinned,
in whose ways they would not walk,
and whose law they would not obey?
25
So he poured on him the heat of his anger
and the might of battle;
it set him on fire all around, but he did not understand;
it burned him up, but he did not take it to heart.

who say to images, ‘You are our gods,’
will be turned back in utter shame.

and deaf like the messenger I send?
Who is blind like the one in covenant with me,
blind like the servant of the
Lord
?
20
You have seen many things, but you pay no attention;
your ears are open, but you do not listen."
21
It pleased the
Lord
for the sake of his righteousness
to make his law great and glorious.
22
But this is a people plundered and looted,
all of them trapped in pits
or hidden away in prisons.
They have become plunder,
with no one to rescue them;
they have been made loot,
with no one to say, "Send them back."
23
Which of you will listen to this
or pay close attention in time to come?
24

the violence of war.
It enveloped them in flames, yet they did not understand;
it consumed them, but they did not take it to heart.

And the strength of battle;
It has set him on fire all around,
Yet he did not know;
And it burned him,
Yet he did not take
it
to heart.
