Isaiah 42:14 in Context — Isaiah 42

12 Deem glória ao SENHOR, e anunciem louvor a ele nas terras do litoral.

13 O SENHOR sairá como guerreiro, como homem de guerra despertará o [seu] zelo; ele gritará, e fará grade ruído; e dominará a seus inimigos.

14 Por muito tempo fiquei calado, quieto estive, [e] me retive; [mas agora] darei gritos como a que está de parto, suspirando e juntamente ofegando.

15 Aos montes e morros tornarei em deserto, e toda sua erva farei secar; e tornarei aos rios em ilhas, e as lagoas secarei.

16 E guiarei aos cegos por um caminho que nunca conheceram; eu os farei caminhar pelas veredas que não conheciam; tornarei as trevas em luz perante eles, e as coisas tortas [farei] direitas; estas coisas lhes farei, e nunca os desampararei.
