I (the Lord) have kept silent for a long time; I have kept silent and restrained Myself
Now like a woman in labour I will groan, I will both gasp and pant
I will lead the blind by ways they have not known along unfamiliar paths I will guide them
I will turn the darkness into light before them and make the rough places smooth.
These are the things I will do; I will not forsake them (Is42:14,16).
