‏ Isaiah 42:16

16 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.
