  1. 15I will destroy mountains and hills,
    and dry up all their herbs.
    I will make the rivers islands,
    and will dry up the pools.
  2. 16I will bring the blind by a way that they don’t know.
    I will lead them in paths that they don’t know.
    I will make darkness light before them,
    and crooked places straight.
    I will do these things,
    and I will not forsake them.

    and look, you blind,
    that you may see.

    Or who is as deaf as my messenger whom I send?
    Who is as blind as he who is at peace,
    and as blind as Yahweh’s servant?
