And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them. ▼

▼ straight: Heb. into straightness

“I will ^blead those who are blind by a way they have not known,
In paths they have not known I will guide them.
I will ^cturn darkness into light before them
And ^duneven land into plains.
These are the things I will do,
And I will ^enot leave them undone.”

I will lead the blind along an unfamiliar way; ▼

▼tn Heb “a way they do not know” (so NASB); NRSV “a road they do not know.”

I will guide them down paths they have never traveled. ▼

▼tn Heb “in paths they do not know I will make them walk.”

I will turn the darkness in front of them into light
and level out the rough ground. ▼

▼tn Heb “and the rough ground into a level place.”

This is what I will do for them.
I will not abandon them.
