A Song Of Praise To Yahweh

15 I will make waste mountains and hills, and dry up all their plants. And I will make the rivers coastlands, and I will dry up the pools. 16 And I will bring the blind by a way they knew not; I will lead them in paths they have not known; I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. I will do these things to them, and not forsake them. 17 They are turned back, they are greatly ashamed, those who trust in graven images and who say to the images, You are our gods.
