let them shout from the top of the mountains.
Isaiah 42:15-16
15 hI will lay waste mountains and hills,and dry up all their vegetation;
I will turn the rivers into islands, ▼
▼Or into coastlands
and dry up the pools.
16 jAnd I will lead the blind
in a way that they do not know,
in paths that they have not known
I will guide them.
I will turn the darkness before them into light,
kthe rough places into level ground.
These are the things I do,
and I do not forsake them.
