Isaiah 42:16

Translations

I will lead the blind by a way they did not know; I will guide them on unfamiliar paths. I will turn darkness into light before them and rough places into level ground. These things I will do for them, and I will not forsake them.

Traditional

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.

Literal

And the blind I will bring by a way they did not know; I will lead them by paths they have not known; I will turn the darkness before their faces into light, and the crooked places into level ground. These are the things I will do for them and I will not forsake them.

Latin

Et ducam cæcos in viam quam nesciunt, et in semitis quas ignoraverunt ambulare eos faciam; ponam tenebras coram eis in lucem, et prava in recta; hæc verba feci eis, et non dereliqui eos.
