Isaias 42:12-21 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

12. They shall give glory to the Lord, and shall declare his praise in the islands.

13. The Lord shall go forth as a mighty man, as a man of war shall he stir up zeal: he shall shout and cry: he shall prevail against his enemies.

14. I have always held my peace, I have I kept silence, I have been patient, I will speak now as a woman in labour: I will destroy, and swallow up at once.

15. I will lay waste the mountains and hills, and will make all their grass to wither: and I will turn rivers into islands, and will dry up the standing pools.

16. And I will lead the blind into the way which they know not: and in the paths which they were ignorant of I will make them walk: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight: these things have I done to them, and have not forsaken them.

17. They are turned back: let them be greatly confounded, that trust in a graven thing, that say to a molten thing: You are our god.

18. Hear, ye deaf, and, ye blind, behold that you may see.

19. Who is blind, but my servant? or deaf, but he to whom I have sent my messengers? Who is blind, but he that is sold? or who is blind, but the servant of the Lord?

20. 20. Thou that seest many things, wilt thou not observe them? thou that hast ears open, wilt thou not hear?

21. And the Lord was willing to sanctify him, and to magnify the law, and exalt it.
