15. I will destroy the hills and mountainsand dry up the grass and trees.I will turn the river valleys into desertsand dry up the pools of water.
16. “I will lead my blind peopleby roads they have never travelled.I will turn their darkness into lightand make rough country smooth before them.These are my promises,and I will keep them without fail.
17. All who trust in idols,who call images their gods,will be humiliated and disgraced.”
18. The Lord says,“Listen, you deaf people!Look closely, you that are blind!
19. Is anyone more blind than my servant,more deaf than the messenger I send?
20. Israel, you have seen so much,but what has it meant to you?You have ears to hear with,but what have you really heard?”
