16 I will lead the blind by a way they did not know; I will guide them on unfamiliar paths. I will turn darkness into light before them and rough places into level ground. These things I will do for them, and I will not forsake them. 17 But those who trust in idols and say to molten images, ‘You are our gods!’ will be turned back in utter shame. 18 Listen, you deaf ones; look, you blind ones, that you may see! 19 Who is blind but My servant, or deaf like the messenger I am sending? Who is blind like My covenant partner, or blind like the servant of the LORD?
