13 aYahweh will go forth like a warrior;
He will awaken His bzeal like a man of war.
He will make a loud shout, indeed, He will raise a war cry.
He will cprevail against His enemies.
Israel’s Blindness and Deafness
14 “aI have kept silent for a long time;
I have kept still and restrained Myself.
Now like a woman in labor I will groan;
I will both gasp and pant.
15 I will alay waste the mountains and hills
And dry up all their vegetation;
I will bmake the rivers into coastlands
And dry up the pools of waters.
16 I will alead the blind by a way they do not know,
In paths they do not know I will guide them.
I will bmake darkness into light before them
And crugged places into plains.
These are the things I will do,
And I will dnot forsake them.”
17 They will be turned back and be autterly put to shame,
Who trust in graven images,
Who say to molten images,
“You are our gods.”
