Isaiah 42:17 in Context — Isaiah 42

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.

17 [Mas] serão conduzidos para trás e se envergonharão os que confiam em imagens de escultura, [e] dizem às imagens de fundição: Vós sois nossos deuses.

18 Surdos, ouvi; e vós cegos, olhai para que possais ver.

19 Quem é cego, senão o meu servo? Ou surdo, como o meu mensageiro, a quem envio? Quem é cego como o aliançado, e cego como o servo do SENHOR?
